The Sealey TSTVRK is a specialized tool designed for the removal and installation of tyre valves, particularly useful for steel wheels and especially effective for valves on motorcycle or agricultural wheels. This tool allows for the replacement of leaking tyre valves without the need to remove the entire tyre, offering a significant time-saving advantage. It is important to note that this tool is not suitable for high-pressure valves.

Function Description:

The primary function of the TSTVRK is to facilitate the quick and efficient replacement of tyre valves. It comprises a set of components including a Cone, a Push/Pull Driver, a Valve Hook Tool, and a Tyre Valve. The process involves using the Valve Hook Tool to extract old valves and the Push/Pull Driver in conjunction with the Cone to install new ones. This method bypasses the more laborious process of dismounting the tyre, making it a convenient solution for workshops and individuals.

Removing Tyre Valve from Wheel:

Apply a suitable lubricant to the valve hook tool and the area around the tyre valve.
Push the tyre valve body to one side.
Insert the valve hook tool between the tyre valve and the valve hole in the wheel rim.
Turn the valve hook tool 90° clockwise so that the hook is positioned under the tyre valve.
Lift the valve hook tool and pull the tyre valve from the wheel rim.

Fitting Replacement Tyre Valve:

If necessary, clean any dirt and corrosion from the area around the valve hole in the wheel rim.
Screw the replacement tyre valve onto the push/pull driver.
Generously lubricate the tyre valve body and the inside of the cone with a suitable rubber lubricant. DO NOT use mineral oil or grease, as these can cause the tyre valve body to deteriorate.
Place the thin end of the cone into the valve hole in the wheel rim and align the tyre valve.
Use the push/pull driver to force the tyre valve all the way through the cone until it has entered the wheel.
Pull the tyre valve upwards until it seats securely in the wheel rim.
Unscrew the push/pull driver from the tyre valve and then remove the cone.
Inflate the tyre and thoroughly check for any leaks around the valve body.
