Tire shop for metal valve stem replacement

Who here in SD is competent at replacing the metal solid valve stems on 993 Technology hollow spoke twist wheels?

In the past, I have bought tires from Discount Tire on Gennesse since they offer a PCA discount (10% I think...), but I'm not so confident in their abilities in this matter... How about C2 Motorsports off Convoy? Other suggestions? Does Black Forest (my normal shop (sorry Steve G., :( since I know you read/contribute here regularly) do this?

thanks!
Keith

i did mine when the tires were off.
beer me and I'll help you.

if tires are on, you'll need to break the outer bead to do this.

Craig,
There are old tires on the rims that need to be removed first and I've got to order up the stems tomorrow. When I get them in, I'll give you a shout. Thanks!
