I bought one of these stem repair kits a couple of years ago. I did not think it would work.
It does!
I used it on the wife's car yesterday, the only thing I did that may have helped is I put the new stem in HOT H20 for a couple of minutes to help it conform to the inserting tube on the way dwn and in.'It took me or it two tries...Plus, I was tapping the stem attachment tool with a hammer to drive it in. Was one of the best tools in the shop..at that moment. Saved busting the tire dwn, never took it off the car.
WORKED!

Good to know AB!
I bought a similar kit in the fall of 2023 and have not tried it yet. I have two motorcycles with faulty valve stems and was going to see if I could change them out with it....

However....I've since learned how to change tires myself and seems like if the tire is old and needs to be replaced it's a moot point.
So my latest venture is looking at various devices that assist in changing tires.
