Thank you VERY MUCH for demonstrating this kit and ESPECIALLY for spending all the time trying out both generic and AME valve stems and trying to figure out the difference between the two!! Very helpful. I don't have this kit yet but, I need to buy it. I have a Well Water pressure tank with a rubber schrader valve stem that's leaking. Since there is no way to get inside the tank I need to change out the valve stem from the outside- just like you did with the truck rim. It's either that or buy a new well pressure tank for ~$800...

Get a bead breaker and then you can insert any rubber valve stem you want by leaving the tire mounted and just breaking the bead next to where the valve stem is located. Then install the valve stem from the inside of the wheel and use a valve stem puller tool to pull it through the hole by threading to the threads on the valve stem and pulling it through. No rebalance will be needed.
