To unscrew a tire valve, first locate the valve stem on the inner edge of the wheel. Use a tire valve stem tool. Carefully unscrew the old valve stem by turning it slowly. This helps avoid damage to the wheel. Handle the tool gently to ensure safe removal without causing any damage.
Once you have removed the valve core, inspect it for any debris or damage. A clean core ensures proper function and airflow in your tire. If you need to replace it, position the new core correctly and turn it clockwise until secure.
After replacing the core, recap the valve to prevent dirt from entering. Your tires will benefit from this simple maintenance step.
