First is removing the valve stem cap which will expose the Schrader valve.

Using the exterior thread chaser, this is used to clean up any damaged threads that are used for the cap. If you noticed, there’s a noticed out portions to allow for any debris to escape while straightening out any threads. Simply thread it on, then remove it, and this can be done a few times if they’re badly damaged.

This exterior thread chaser also has an alternative purpose. Replacing a valve stem, cutting off the old one.

The new one has a water and soap mixture applied for easier installation.

It’s inserted into the hole of the wheel, the tool is then threaded on.

The tool can be used as a “T” handle to pull through the new valve stem, ensuring it’s properly seated.

Next is using the Schrader valve core removal tool. The center of this is hollowed out for the valve push rod and it has notched out portions to lock onto the valve for removal and installation. Removing this valve is required to completely deflate the tire when it’s being unmounted or if you’re replacing the valve. Lock it into place, then turn counterclockwise to loosen and remove.

As a close up, here you can see the center portion fits inside the tool and then it locks onto the valve body.

The pointed tip is a reamer that is used to clean out the valve stem body. Sometimes excessive rubber from their’ construction or debris can plug up the hole cause fill or deflation issues. Stick it into the hole and rotate.

And finally is the thread chaser for the valve core threads inside the valve stem. Similar to the outside version, it’s noticed out on the sides to clean up the threads while allowing any debris to escape. Thread it into the stem and then remove it, this can be done a few times if needed.
