Ack - really? Remind me never to try that. So today, I got a fresh right window to very close to it's final size. Hoping to finish that process tomorrow and be ready to try installing them on Sunday. I will need to fully sand the edges so they're smooth and rounded to pry into the seal without catching or cutting it.

My 86 came with factory valve stem extenders for the inside rear wheel. Tried to install easier access ones but with the 6 hole rims it wasn't possible. I did put some on my Nissan Sunrader. 5 or 7 inch, don't remember. Metal flex ones. Ebay was the only place I could find them that short. If you search the site for valve stem extenders you might find someone else who bought some hopefully with a link

I'm old enough to be your mother and I am right now installing new shocks and a new blower motor on my Ford. You'll never learn from posting questions. You learn from doing.

Linda,
I see that you've been posting on this thread for about five years (six-ish, now), and you're old and have an attitude. I like that. And I'll bet that my Bro and I are at least as old as you, if not older. We did our first restoration on a 1956 MGA when it was seven years old.
My Bro and I are prepping our 'new' old 1993 Itasca to get on the road, after our five year hiatus for heart and cancer issues. Shortly after we bought it, we had the rear end rebuilt with a lower gear ratio to suit our new Colorado mountain ways. We also put on new tires all around.
Unfortunately, we weren't paying attention when the technicians did the install, and they put/left the valve stems aimed every which way but correct. Now, we are planning on bustin' all the tires off the rims, installing new stems (hopefully, aimed in an accessible direction), and maybe putting on extenders. But maybe not.
It looks like, with the proper stems, installed in the right orientation, with the wheels mounted in a rational and logical manner, we should be able to get at everything with a minimum of hassle. Which brings us (finally) to an actual question...
Do you, with all your experience and research, have a favorite or recommended valve stem style, manufacturer, or source that you would be willing to share with us? I've googled the hell out of'em, and think I've narrowed it down to under a hundred choices, but I'm always willing and excited to solicit the wisdom of those more experienced than myself.
Either way, thanks for looking out for we ToyMotorHeads.
