Beadlock blocks valve stem?

[Micmada]

I put a bead lock from a Sandtrail tire to a Goodyear 395 M/VT with combat rims and at one point while inflating the tire I got no tire pressure reading from a separate gauge. Air was going in but could not get out.

It seems like the thick rubber bead of that Sandtrail beadlock is now pushing on the valve stem inside and locking air in.

I am hoping I have not over inflated it either too much above the 90psi, my air pump is kind of weak. I have no idea what to do now.

So I ordered a Quick Stem. Maybe I can remove the whole stem, poke a hole in the beadlock and shove in that quickstem. Anyone use one before?

QuikStem

QuikStem (often misspelled as QuickStem or Quick Stem) is a patented, quick-change tire valve stem that works with most tubeless, tubed and fluid filled tires and installs in under 1 minute with a wrench, pliers or socket wrench.

It seems air will go in and out but at a very slow rate. So I will leave it be for now and put them in the middle axle with a lower pressure.

What do the inserts look like? The ones I reused on my M35A3's wheels had about a single 1.5" wide groove on the inside surface with a hole with a brass sleeve in the groove roughly aligned with the turret valve on the rim:

Well, cheat. Interesting. I do not remember seeing such a grove even though I was looking for one the second time around , but I will check it out on the other ones.

other issue I have is I was doing a seventh spare tire and I stripped a stud for the ring. I never removed a stud, let alone one stuck with a broken bolt that will not unscrew back. I broke so many tools on this project. I even smashed my face on the spring axle when a breaker bar broke. What a deal, bleeding eyebrow and black eye. Truck looks and runs good, though.

I think @Mullaney might have a hint about that. When I was doing my wheels I think he remarked how stuck the clamp ring studs are in the rim...

Older rubber beadlocks have a groove for the stem. Newer band types do not.
