Not simple to check tire pressure…..help.

[rrrtx]

Somehow I missed the class on this one!! Big fat fingers can’t reach air valve without removing ring lock, and even then air value is difficult to add pressure or lose pressure. Are there some type of extenders everyone has but me??

A lot of work removing all the wheel ring screws that have lock tight on all 12 screws? Help?

You can get tyre valve extenders from amazon which will do the job

The beadlock wheels are designed to protect the valve stem from being damaged when offroading, which is why it's hard to get to. Valve extenders will fix this when checking or adding air pressure

Here's a few examples:

Air valve extenders are certainly an option but have potential to leak. My recommendation is a pair of needle nose pliers to help with the valve covers and a good air chuck that grabs on really well like the lock-n-lube air chuck.

Resurrecting this as I went to check my tire pressure for the first time, and I could not get the valve cover off. Did you end up getting the extenders? How are they as far as being leaky?

Easy peasy on the Lariat

That was one of the main reasons I got new wheels!! Hated how hard it was to check air pressure!Also hated the +55 offset of the Beadlock wheels.

 

[Caneman88]

I saw a post on here where someone notched the ring to make it easier to get to the valve

 

[Blue_Raptor]

Or just get one of these.

Another reason I chose the non-beadlock OEM rims. There are some shorter extension options that should give you enough length without sticking way out, like these.

Um, a pressure gauge/inflator isn't going to help him get his fingers to grasp the valve stem cap.

Know what you mean, had the same issue on my 2019 Gen 2 Raptor with the 37 PP beadlocks. Royal PITA to get to the valve stems and I tried 2 different types of extenders and neither one worked. No more beadlocks for me.

 

[got3fords]

I found some valve extenders I had stashed away from who knows where. They work great for checking the pressure. They were different sizes, but just a short one worked and didn't look stupid. Had to use a needle nose pliers to loosen the caps. I am going to try a set of similar length from Amazon and give them a try, they're cheap.

I got new wheels now but yes factory with beauty ring was hard got this on Amazon it works well you need the straight air nozzle Air gauge
