i've seen a few sites on how to install a valve stem on your wheels but not one is consistent with the other.. theres one that uses lubricants and heat and there's another who just used a valve fishing tool..with that being said, does anybody have any experience in installing one and what proceedure did you do?

Thanks!!

put a little soap on it and pull it gently brass end first from the inside to outside ...youll hear a little pop and thats it...btw dont use wd40 or pb blaster or even oil...they deteriorate rubber....Ya follow me?
 






I'm not sure if I did mine the "right" way but I just ran the valve stem through the hole from the inside of the rim, then, with the valve cap on, I pulled it through with some pliers.
