Help with stems disassembly.

[atomikaso]

Hi there!

Since I started collecting, this section has always drew my attention to it. Just got a pair of a beater Valve 1.0 and I'm about to attempt a custom colourway, but I cannot get the hinges popped out of the frame(tried to research in the forum and outside and the only thing I found is a video of disassembling Flak Jacket stems). Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.

I’m sitting in a vehicle in the dark so photos not the best. Here’s my Valve. Close the stem. Grab near the hinge and pull upwards and outwards. That should pop the stem off. Putting back on is reverse. Get the two pins in between and push back into place.

It worked! Thanks a lot, soon I'll start sanding and painting to bring them back to life. Best wishes mate
