How do I remove Valve Stems in preparation for Powder Coating?
I'm going to get these 7 spoke 70th anniversary wheels powdercoated this weekend but the valves are still on. How do I remove them so that the wheels are ready to be painted. Thanks for the help!

Use a razor to cut off the bigger section on the inside of the wheel. Then you can pull the rest of the valve stem out with your fingers or pliers.
You definitely want to put in new valve stems when the time comes anyhow. They are such cheap insurance.
