Wooohooo!!! Watched this video, went to the hardware store, fix the value. This video just saved me $1200 on a vintage car! Thank you so much!

Great video. I had a slow leak which I determined to be the valve stem. I had loaded up the tire to take to the tire shop when I found your video. Method #3 worked for me and only took a few minutes to do. Saved me a trip to town and some money. Thanks a million.

I was just about to book bike in to garage to get valve changed, watched this video and realised you can change the valve stem without removing tyre. I popped down to Halfords ( 4 new stems and tool for less than 9 quid the lot) and had the job done in a few minutes. All fixed now and saved quite a bit of money. Thanks a lot.

Some good tips there ; I have used those valve tools all my long life and never appreciated all of their functions, (especially with tubeless). A while ago I had a tubeless trailer spare with a slow leak around the rim , rather than take it to the tyre shop I tried something I’d not done before. I broke the seal on both sides of the tyre , cleaned it up as best I could then applied a generous dose of black molasses to the the seal between the tyre and the rim. I then quickly inflated the tyre , washed of the excess molasses and did the water/detergent test , no leak and is still quite ok 6 months later. Davox.

FIX #3 works great for my slow leaking valve. Thanks for sharing.

This is so helpful, thank you so much! Fixed my tyre within 5 minutes

I did your lesson #1 to my Ram 2500, and lesson #4 to my Tahoe fixed my problems. Thank you, saved me lots of money.

Brilliant - 3 cheers for guys like this and KZfaq. This great video just saved Christmas after 2 (large national tyre companies) turned me away with a sticking valve causing the tyre to go flat overnight. Both depots said they couldn't take any bookings until middle of next week, despite having no vehicles in the bays and 2 fitters stood around chatting! I came home, watched this great guy, went to a local accessary shop, paid £6 for the tool and 4 valve cores, fitted inside of 5 minutes - and that includes moving the car, letting the remaining air out, fitting the new core as fix 2, then refilling to pressure. job done and problem solved. Merry Christmas Dave - you're the man!👍

Great video - thank you for your help. Pretty confident I can determine the problem now.

This was def the best video I've watched to fix a leaky valve....thank you for explaining the diff ways.😊

Thanks for videos like this mate. We really appreciate videos like this

Thank you for this informative video! I had an issue with a tiny leak from the valve stem on my motorcycle. I just had the tire replaced and the shop didn’t bother to check the stem. Fix # 3 did the trick. Thanks again for posting your vid.

Thanks so much mate, helped me fix a valve myself in 5 minutes. Cheers!

Thank you, my man. I tried the easy option first. The stem wouldn't turn until i sprayed some penetrating oil on it, then gave it a couple revolutions, and leak solved! My son is very happy he doesn't have to fill it up at least once/week.

Amazing! I had no idea there was a core tool or that you can replace valve cores. Or that they screw in and out! Extra cores and a core tool will be essential for me from now on. Thanks!

Thank you! Saved me $50 and a bunch of time.

Well done I took everything you said onboard and added another tool to my box Thanks Mr Spence Eng

You save the day mate. I was able to use Instacart to pick up a tire inflator and that little tool and fixed my tire up thanks to you.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Fix no 1 fixed mine.so amazing saved me a lot of stress.

My goodness thank you so much for this video. A couple times watching this video, a $4.99 tool and about 30 seconds to slightly untighten and retighten my vale core and no more slow leak on my tire. I was concerned about doing it with the tire still on my car but it didn't seem to matter. Again, thank you!

Brilliant video this saved me money by repairing my own.

Thank you. You helped me solve a leak out of a valve stem. Tire shops are too busy to get me in for 2 weeks with winter coming so this was a huge help!!!

Thank you! Tip #3 worked for mine! I lowered the pressure some to get the valve stem to spin better. Once I did, I aired it back up and no more leak!

Thanks man mine was the first step I had no idea that you could do thats. Thanks a million.

Excellent video! Thank you very much.

Thank you, I fixed my valve stem leak , finding the leak was another story ! 👍🏻

Very interesting was thinking about putting some super glue around the valve but glad I saw this and use some gasket sealer instead pheew👏🏻

Thanks for the info, I'll go outside and try it right away!

Super helpful. thanks!

thankyou sir, very informative, love from India !

Excellent! Thank you!

#2 so easy and this vid saved my ass today THANKS!

Thanks a lot dude, saved me a headache.

Gonna have to try this out on my leaky stem. I've already got a core tool, never thought about twisting it like this! 👍

Good stuff, and good info. As you say, very often when the leak is at the stem base, corrosion of the alloy wheel is the culprit. Just for info, there are some DIY tools that can let you replace the valve stem without breaking the tyre bead.

Thanks! Worked Perfect!!

Very good video, thank you

Dude you’re a genius. I was having the exact same issue. Finally found it was the valve stem. So I went to the auto part store bought that exact same tool and did fix number 3 and it appears to have worked. I never would have figured that out. Thanks so much.

Thank you; mine was #3 and just needed tightening.

Top tips and instructions a great money saving video 10 out of 10

about as good a video on car repair Ive seen cheers!

Best video on this topic! Not only in all the explanations, but nothing fancy at the start trying to establish that you're trying to be big on youtube. Just providing content of value. Thank you!

Thank you, this helped me figure out that I needed to change my nasty corroded valve core

I had Fix #1. Thanks for posting this - educational and saved me plenty of money. 😁

Very Helpful😊

Thank you so much for this video. Super informative. I subscribed.

I got lucky and just needed to tighten the valve core. The gushing air stopped immediately. Thanks for the video.

Well done.

Great video, thank you very much :)

Excellent video, clear, informative and complete. Subscribed,and liked. Thank you.

This video saved me $110... Thank you

Cheers ,some really good commen sence tips

Thanks Dave

Great video.

very nice) I got some value out of this

Nice one, thanks

AWESOME! I was hoping this was the fix for my leaky, 15-year-old aluminum alloys! We'll see...

Thank you

super, saved my day!

My motercycle valve core leaking going to try out your tips thanks 👍

Thanks. Good video. Helped me fix my tire. You the man !!

this was quite informative, in my case it was the fix nr.2 the screw got loose while trying to check the pressure of my tyre. I dint even know there is a screw in the valve. thanx mate!👍. just tingtened the core screw with a thin screw driver and problem was solved.

Brilliant.

Good luck on 2005+ doing & fixing one with TPMS sensor. It worn on the inside on the rim & the battery is weak to dead. ATG tips is best way on doing it with TPMS scanner tool.

The tyre tool is available here for less than £2.50! amzn.to/2Y97uW1 *If this video saved you money, please consider a "Super Thanks" donation as a thank you.*

Im gonna give this a shot....i have chrome wheels and been having problems with air leaking from the base

Interesting. Thank you.

Such a good video, massive thumbs up!

Cool. I have a mountain bike rear air shock with Schrader valve (Fox). It kept losing air and I serviced it thinking the seals were worn. Turns out it was just a loose valve core.

thanks

Thanks for video

Thanks mate 🫡🙏

Great video. Thanks. Mine is leaking around rim. Going to try fix 3 first... Then 4 if required. Appreciate your help. Rick. Newfoundland

thank you! I had two leaking stems at the bases... if i pushed it sideways a little it would hiss. All fixed up :)

I got stuck on the highway in my 2018 renault zoe, cause of a bent valve that leaked air AFTER i tried to fill it up cause of a warning on the dash, i got brand new winter tires 3 weeks ago

Great video. Although I feel like step 4 is a little excessive. Maybe just replace the stem at that point. But great video!

Hi , Can you tell the type or size of the Valve Stem , if required to replace.

There’s also a tool where you can replace Schrader valve cores while it’s still under pressure and not have to let all the air out

When ur twisting the valve stem, do you try n turn thr black part also?

Air leaks when i push up on the valve, which # fix do you think would work? Thanks

Good info on valve core, but some have tpms as mine has so sensors attached to the stem, so wouldn't twist the stem around as damage could occur.. for valve stem leak I'd go to a tyre fitter..

What about burrs around the valve stem hole causing to eventually puncture and leak??

Does this work with tpms sensors as well?

Got a ranger and exactly the same issue

Quick question I see u have a Karcher pressure washer which 1 is it k5 or k7 was looking on your videos but couldn't see any information about it thanks in advance

Do I need to remove the tire from the car or can I do it on the car

can this be done on a bmw with tpms sensors?

What type of gasket sealant is it obviously it cannot be silicone based as that will cause rust

Hi mate. Great video. Quick question...I try to inflate my tyre..when I put the nozzle from air machine in..the air just keeps coming out..normally If you press it far enough it will seal and then alloenyoj to inflate. Is this the core that's faulty?

Can fixes 3 & 4 be used with a valve that has a tire pressure monitoring sensor? Thanks.

Does this work while tire still on car?

Will fix 4 work with valves that have TPMS? I have a small slow leak at the base of the value. Excellent video by the way

To do number 3 has the tire got to be flat?

If you have a heat gun try heating the valve stem to get it softer and it will go into the rim easier.

After topping off the pressure (before it gets too low in the freezing months), the valve didn’t close when unplugging the pump. The only thing holding in the air is the plastic cap. Jabbing the valve core didn’t help at all, driving for 20 minutes to heat it all up (thought it might just be frozen in place) didn’t help either. I guess I need to try fix number 2? Just buy some valve stems and the tool to swap them?

Fix #3 is my tire issue . So all I have to do is buy that...... so that I can squeeze it and problem solved ?

fix #5; take the wheel OFF the car, remove valve core allowing as much air as possible to escape, break beed on the side where the valve stem is, 'peel back' tire to expose valve stem bottom, remove valve stem, install new valve stem with valve stem installation tool that you did not show, be sure to coat the base of the new valve stem with sealant, install valve core, inflate tire making sure the bead on both sides have seated (you'll hear an audible pop). Inflate to proper pressure. mount tire back on vehicle torque lug bolts / nuts to proper spec. ** note; if you have tire pressure sensors- you might have to remove the tire from the wheel- there may not be room to remove the sensor, especially with low profile tires. You can try, it might even be possible to leave the sensor on and remove the valve stem pushing from the top-- you'll have to cut the top of the stem off-- just be careful not to damage the sensor. I actually JUST got done doing this tonight. I was chasing a slow leak, while replacing valve core I noticed that when I move the whole stem just a little bit- massive air would stream out. Don't know how long I've been driving around like this but so glad I checked the valve core- never would have noticed the crack in the stem. Cheers everybody- drive safe.

Unfortunately, #3 and #4 won't work on a recessed valve stem on my alloy wheel. The valve stem is crap.

Im not sure if you can help...Im not big on cars...none of my tires are leaking but when I try to pump air into one of my tire it is actually releasing air (I can't hear it, air pushing out while trying to pump)..I even had a stranger try and help me....its weird😕...so I haven't tried pumping it anymore the pressure is okay but its the lowest of the 4

I'm guessing that you haven't heard of puncture safe. Stops these sort of leaks quickly and easily. Also stops a upto a 6mm puncture (car version) and unlike the other tyre sealants lasts for the full legal lifetime of the tyre. Will also last upto 100 punctures per tyre. Plenty of taxi drivers and couriers using it in the Leeds and Harrogate areas of the UK. Theirs another version which trucks, coaches and agricultural sector are using a version which can give puncture protection upto 30mm and again lasts for 100 punctures per tyre.
