The innertube valve puller tool (part no VLVPUL) is a tool designed to simplify scooter and motorbike innertube and tyre fitment by allowing an innertube to be easily located and pulled through the valve hole in wheel rim.
This page shows what the tool does and how to use it.
1) Unscrew the puller tools end from it’s storage bit inside the handle.
2) Use the tip of the puller tool to remove the valve core from the valve barrel on the innertube (the valve core should screw out anti clockwise)
3) Once the core is removed store it in a safe place (these cores are tiny and very easy to lose!). Also helps to keep the core in a clean area as dirt specs can jam them up.
4) Thread the valve tool head and cable through the innertube hole in the wheel
5) Screw the head of the valve pulling tool back into the barrel of the inner tube valve
6) Pull the innertube valve towards the valve hold in the wheel
7) Pull the innertube valve though the valve hold in the wheel (if it get’s stuck just wiggle it about slightly!)
7) Once the tyre has been fit to the wheel and the valve is in place unscrew the valve tool head from the innertube valve barrel
7) Screw the valve core back into the barrel and use the head of the puller tool to tighten the valve (the care should be screwed in firmly but not overtightened!)

Points to note…..
1) Yes, we have used an innertube with a thread on the outside if the valve (you probably wouldn’t need to use the tool with this kind of valve!).
2) There isn’t a tyre on the wheel we photographed above (we did try but it was practically impossible to photo with a tyre on!)
