Valve stem on Sasquatch wheels

[BroncocnorB]

I don t have the biggest fingers in the world but man it is tough to unscrew the valve stem caps. Anyone using extenders or just forgoing caps? I was using my own compressor hose today and it is just tough to unscrew the female end quickly as the wheel ring gets in the way. I ended up over inflating by 3-4 pounds just to allow time to unscrew the compressor hose.

Same.............. went through several versions.
Some rusted horribly, finally settling on some brass ones found on Amazon.

I got this for $14 on Amazon. Well made and I don't have to unscrew it with cold, fat fingers anymore.

I would STRONGLY suggest to not use anything but plastic/rubber to cover or (“permanently”) extend valve stems due to dissimilar metal corrosion which could be a significant issue trying to remove them… YMMV

Only plastic caps.

Same difficulty with the RR wheels. My plan is to use a die grinder and remove material from the deco ring for easier access to the valve stem. I'll post a picture once I'm finish.

Opened up the clearance around the tire valve stem today. It is easier to get the Speedflate chuck off the valve stem now. Here's some pics.

That’s awesome. Thanks. I might b using the dremel we’ll see after I get the quick disconnect. I don’t air up and down a lot but was at 32-33 psi and doing a long drive to the keys next week.
