I think you can just use pliers, but I have never done it before.

If they are good why take them out? If they are bad just grab them with pliars and rip them out.

IF they are junk, cut them and they will fall off, pull the new ones through from the inside with the tire off. If you are taking them out for powdercoating or something and want to be cheap and save them (like I would) just lube them really well with wd40 and pull them out with pliers from the inside with the tire off.

Yeah I have a set of wheels that I ran my paddles on once and I bent them. So I was going to put my paddles on my new rims and the back rims didnt come with valvestems. So I figured why not just swap them since they were only used once.

Use a 4 way valve stem/core remover.. lube up the stem, screw the remover on, twist and push.. will come right out..
