How do you go about removing the valve stem (tubular tire) in order to put Stan's in it? Special tool? Special stem?

thanks,

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I believe that not all valve cores are removable.

Yes, you need a little 2-finger thing to unscrew them. Edit - I'm thinking of removing Schraeder cores. Those require a 2-finger thingy.

I can't remember how I did it last for Presta. Sorry.

First, make sure the valve guts are removable..needle nose pliers...squirt about 1/2 bottle in there, replace..easy.
