CAUTION: Tire sealants that are injected through the valve stem are not to be used to service punctured tires because they can produce wheel rust and tire imbalance.
Replacement wheels may need to have an air valve installed. If it becomes necessary to replace an air valve, it should be installed using 19 Nm (14 lb-ft) of torque on the hex nut on wheels equipped with brass valves. On wheels equipped with rubber valves, the rubber valve must be fully seated in the hole in the wheel.
