I have a 1997 Tourmaster and I noticed one of the rear tires is low. I checked and the inner tire is at 80 lbs, all others are 100 lbs or so. I tried to add air but the valve would not open and when I tried to check pressure again, I could not get a reading. It looks like the schrader valve is stuck closed. I am thinking about removing the valve and replacing it, but am concerned that the tire may not inflate again (move off the rim). The outer tire should be able to hold the weight. Also, the valve will be a bullet once it comes out with 80 lbs behind it. Any thoughts on trying to do this myself or any other suggestions?
