Default What size nut goes onto a typical US passenger tire Schrader valve?

4-way valve stem tools cost less than $2. It amazes me why some people
want to reinvent some things.


Assuming the tire is off the rim, can I both remove an old valve and
replace it with a new valve using that cheap 4-way tool?


Yes, just lube it with something.

They do make valve stems that instead of a friction fit that have a nut
on the outside so the valve stem fits on like a bolt.

I use "bolt in" stems on all of my vehicles now since I lost 4 stems
in one trip on my PT Cruiser. That was Kitchener to PEI and back.
