Valve stem removal tool.
One of mine is leaking and needs to be replaced.
I found a good one on youtube that used to be on princess but I can't find it anymore.

I just used 90* needle nose pliers.. didn't squeeze too hard, just enough to grip them, then twist back and forth to break them loose.

And you replace them all without breaking the tire seal?

Sorry I missed your reply. I didn't install my new ones myself; I wanted Rainbow to put in my new springs and check installed heights, so I let them order and install the new stem seals as well.

Maybe somebody who has installed a set can chime in as to whether or not a special tool is needed; I feel like it wouldn't be.

LOL Jeremy, I was referring to tire valve not head valve.
I just ended up taking it to a shop, found a guy to do it for cash

Mike this is what I wanted but couldn't find it local

And this was the other one I was looking at, but wasn't sure how effective it actually is.

The one you posted I am pretty sure is just for removing the core.

Aww Ok. Was gonna say, they're easy to make with an old screw driver and cutting disc or dremel.

So this is what you did?
