Recently changed tires on ATV. I didn't have those tools for the first set. I had some spare tires but no tools to put them through the rim. I used pliers and did it, but one of the rods was slightly bent. I ordered this kit for my second set of tires and changing the stem went much better. Just lather and stretch a little. The valve puller also worked a lot better than the little cross tool we've all seen so many times.
