So I was swapping my tires today, and while topping up the air in one tire, I removed the air pump, and for some reason, the valve stuck open. The little needle inside won't return --like it's stuck at the little cross-tab at the bottom.
So suffice it to say, the tire won't hold air.
Any idea where I can find a stem valve tool and a possible replacement to quickly swap out the broken innards?
I check canadian tire online, but couldn't find one... going to call the store tomorrow.
ANyhoo... it's pretty frustrating... swap tires, break valve, replace wheel so I can at least park the car... 3 x 18" black rims, and 1 x 16" silver rim.. this blows! I wanted to take my car out in the sun, but I ain't going to do it looking like this!
