Hi,
Planning to replace a tyre valve stem on a Punto mk2b with standard 14inch steel wheels due to poor seal and slow leak.
Just have a few questions
1. Would I need to "re-seal" the tyre to the steel rim? If so what sealant should be used?
Something like this I'm assuming: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Schrader-Tyre-Bead-And-Repair-Sealer-Seal-Leaks-Between-Tyre-And-Rim-945ml-Tin-/161881982516
2. Is there a specific size valve stem for the punto 14inch steel rim? i.e. TR-414?
3. Good methods for removing the old valve stem?
No specialist tools, so any tips appreciated.
Thanks.
