Okay. I get it.
I miss read the post, I though it said "bids you made" not "bids you may make", getting old, my bad!
As of now just a couple minutes let to go!
I'm been looking to remove them from mine for sometime. I have watched a couple Youtube videos where they had a very hard time getting them off. One even used a handheld band saw to cut them off.
How hard was it to access and get the bolts/nuts off?
Yeah I seen that. His has the top part of the valve but all I would have needed is the bottom part, everything else was good except for the diaphragms. Before taking them apart I had already purchased the rubber diaphragms which I knew would need replacing.
Well, live and learn, and I did.
As I said I soaked them for 5 before I even tried to taking them apart, and I tried everything you did except for the air hammer, I used a regular hammer and punch. One came apart clean, one had one break off, another had two break off and one all four broke off. The other are still soaking...
Did you have any problems getting the valves apart with out breaking the four screws that hold it together?
I’ve been replacing all 7 tires and had a hard time getting them apart without breaking or twisting off the heads even after soaking them with PB for 5 days.
Putting new tires on. While wheels are a part going to blast and paint wheels. When I took the valve stems out of the wheel I found that the seals or gaskets have degraded and need to be replaced. I look in the parts TM (FMTV M1083A1) and it just shows the valve stem (#33) with the seal on it...
Here you go... Look at #6, #7 and #9
