Replace a tire valve stem without special tools
If MacGuyver ever had to change a leaky valve stem, he'd probably do something like this.

I do mine by sliding the tire under the frame of my truck and using a screw jack and my impact with 3/4, I zip that jack down with ease on top of the bead, pop goes the bead.

YA that is pretty funny Colin!
Possibly a lesson for off roaders I suppose, use whatcha got!
Not sure I would trust the inside belts to much after that experiment though.
