I saw it properly and then used http://babelfish. yahoo.com/ which turned it to: "Me it came well and did the great intelligence of the friend and Kawasaki city, contents of age were placed on the wire" -- Doug Herr doug@wombatz. com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

You then fish the stem up through the hole. . . . If you were really handy, you could easily (cough) make one of these with a small bolt that you drilled N to S axis and put a cable strand through the hole with a loop on the end. {snip} Aerostich sells a $24 tool to pull the valve stem through the hole in the rim {snip} Here's one: http://www.kevinscycleracing.com/tools.htm It's only $14. {snip} In 1998 I made a dozen or so valve stem tools . . . The tool it self is very simple and can be made for around $5. {snip} By this thread I can tell none of you are small boat sailors/builders, or REAL 'thrifty' {my wife just says I'm cheap !!}. I was in a local 'PEP BOYS' today, looking for something else, and just browsing the aisles. There, with the Tire Pressure Gauges, stem caps, and other 'stuff' . . . 'Fishing Tool' - $2.99. Actually TWO different tools, with FOUR 'ends' in a small 'blister pack'. Regards, Ron Magen Backyard Boatshop
