Broken tire valve stem
Greetings all...
I have a 2005 Grand Cherokee 5.7 L with Tire Pressure Monitor valves. The threads on two these stems are broken. On one, the plastic cap just spins with the broken thread inside it. I don't want to yank off the cap, because I might crack off the valve stem. Tires are slowly leaking air.
I have heard that a dealer replacement is $$$$. Is this something I can replace myself?
THANK YOU!

Any good tire store sells replacements, with installation. Check it out soon.You could also eliminate the system.
