Ripped out valve stem .. what do I do now?

I respect the move.

 

It doesn't look like the treads on the valve core is jacked up. So you just need the tool to screw it back on. Something like this:

$3 Slime 20088 Valve Tool, 4-Way, Plus Valve Cores for All Types of Tire

I'm sure a tire shop has this tool or something similar and maybe they will install it for free for you.

 

I don’t have the right tool go figure .. I thought I did but apparently not, also, no tool for the tire my dealership never gave me one.. I have a set of wheel
Locks (5 pack) no key tho .. anyways I’m towed to a fountain tire. Yippie

 

Check your local Walmart, they might have it in stock. Around 2$.

 

Core fell out. Get a valve tool and put it back in.
These are the caps that will do it for you;

 

Small needle nose pliers will work in a pinch for the core. Just use them like a little spanner wrench, no need to close them tight.

 

Plumbing section at Home Depot has a Klein 11-1 that has a valve stem tool on it.

 

Any bicycle shop will have a tool to reinstall the core with too.

You're looking at a kerfuffle you can turn in to a DIY learning lesson for under $5.

 

Ha, unless they are presta hipsters..

 

U just need a valve core tool and maybe a new valve core, u can get the tool at walmart for like 2 bucks

 

True. But most shops are capable of repairing big box store bikes too.

Any auto parts store, anyplace you can buy standard bike tubes (WalMart, Target, etc) likely have them as well.

This is not a difficult venture.

 

Wow I called a bike shop and inquired, you are correct damn I learned this too haha .. I have a mountain bike so I’m going to pick that tool up from the bike shop $18

 

If you have the choice, get the Park Tool one. It has all the tools built into one that you'll need for the bicycle and truck.

Or the Stan's tool.

IF you have Presta valves in your MB it won't fit the truck and the bike both, unless it has some type of dual head like @JasonLee shows above.

And $18 is robbery for a standard tool. Folks seem to think when they put 'bike', 'marine' or 'aviation' in front of a product name the price should quadruple.

 

I thought the markup was only on OVERLAND, MIL-SPEC, and EDC.

 

Being from a previous generation I went old skool with things that are real.

I'm not into the new-fangled poseur buzz.

 

You haven't met blue bike tools then..

 

He's in Canada so not using real money.

 

I have to ask, if you were just replacing the dust cap with the sweet skull caps that every 'bro' puts on their ass dragger truck, how in the hell did you remove the valve core? Seems to me that if you had the tool to remove the core, you should use the same too in reverse to install it.

When you do get it sorted out, I hope you have extra skull caps because there will be a direct connection to them disappearing and the local hoodlums sporting them on their bikes.
