Replacing tire valve stem from outside the rim

[Stig / Major Tom]

I've been exploring how to keep from removing my wheel to replace a broken tire valve (broken recently by a local dealer)
It seems I have options, if I do not want to collapse the tire and install from the inside.
The consensus seems to be that often these quick fixes can be permanent.
Worst case - it leaks, and you take traditional steps.




Then there is this method...



and this one....

Looks to be a good option Stig, you must let us know how it goes.

Learned something new,  didn't know those products exist.

You know, after looking at them....during many construction projects I used hardware just like these things when mounting or fixing things to concrete.
Drill a hole, insert and tighten to expand & secure.. Have hung very heavy items, very high up, from these fittings - no reason they can't hold a little air!

Good to know if I ever find myself in a similar situation.
