Always Use New Valve Stems


Always Use New Valve Stems

When I mounted Scott’s tires a few months ago, I did not have any valve stems in stock and I did not want to make the trip into town to get some. The ones in the rims looked fine so I just left them in place.

Then last week, Scott had not one but two valve stems break off due to the rubber cracking.

Last night I swapped in new valve stems for him. I broke the bead on the front side and used a pair of diagonal cutters to cut out the old valve stems. I pressed new ones in place and aired his tires back up.

I put them on the balancer for a tune up of the balance while I had them off.

    If you are looking for inexpensive isuzu rodeo parts and feedback of the best parts then do like I did (after hours of looking around Yahoo) and get your parts from Parts For Isuzu Rodeo. They’ve got reviews of parts so that you will be sure its the correct one the first time. Good luck all!
