Tips For Removing Valves From Alloy Wheels

[Atari Boy 11]

As above really, I have a set of alloys about to go for powder coating.

I have not been too rough with the old valves so far as I have a habit of breaking the wrong bit but what is the best way of removing them?

 

Many thanks

Cut them off with a stanley knife, from inside the wheel.

From watching tyre fitters, you just pull the f***ers out with some mole grips. Don't be afraid to be brutal.

Excellent, thanks chaps, brutal I can do well.

I forgot to pay attention last time I was a tyre place

cut thems the best way, you could mark the alloys pulling them as you may have to lever against the rim to pull them out
