It took me about an hour to pull the wheel pants and put air in all my tires last month. What options do I have for an access hole in the pants to the valve stem? Thanks! | ||

Get out the hole saw! Get an an extension for your air chuck or screw on an extension to the valve stem when you want to air the tire, then remove it... Mark the edge of the tire so you may roll the airplane until the hole lines up with the stem... That's as good a way as I know...simple, cheap. Al | ||

That's how I did it, too. To spog the hole location, I used a spot-laser level on a block--pointed it at the valve with the pant off. When I placed the pant on, the spot showed where to mark the center of the hole....And get metal vzlve extension--the plastic ones don't last. Autozone, Advance or even Wally-mart have them. | ||

I put in access doors, like the typical oil door, see picture  |
