Default Possible to fix RAYS valve stem?



If you look in the pic, that little bronze piece where you press to take out air is sunken down a bit where i can't put air in . I've tried a lot of different places and none will work. Is there a way i can fix it? I'm scared to try and pull the bronze piece out a bit with a needle nose plier because i feel air will come out and i can't put air back in. Any help?

You mean the valve core? That is threaded inside the valve stem. Don't try and pull it out with needle nose pliers, you'll damage it for sure.

You just need a valve core remover. Any tire shop should be able to take it out and put a new one in. Probably for next to nothing, if not free.

hmm, so you can take the middle part out without taking the tire off to get the whole valve stem out? I understand what you are saying. Thanks.
