As Polish Mike mentioned, There is probably an inner-tube in which case you'd have to break the bead remove and replace the inner-tube. Most drive tires will have an inner-tube since tire pressures are not great enough to keep the bead sealed to the rim without one AND many have been filled calcium. If by some ODD chance there is no inner-tube, you shouldn't need to break the bead. Pull up or slightly bend the stem with a pair of pliers and look where the base of the stem meets the rim, there should be definite groove where stem seats into the hole in the rim. It's a struggle to replace a stem from the outside (you may have to cut off the base of the stem), but it can be done. You might be able to use something like a flat head screwdriver and lots of soap to slick it up to push the new stem in and get it seated. Be careful to not mess up the threads at the stem base. I'm not saying this is the only way but it has worked on smaller tires and rims,,,lucky maybe. If your tire doesn't have an inner-tube, what keeps the calcium from eating and destroying the rim ??
