I removed the CSIT air system and one the the stems in the center threads are distroied. So I cant screw in a center pin. My only guess is the take it to a semi truck tire place. Problem is the complete stem that bolts to the rim needs replaced and they will not have the same matching part. If I could get the stem then I could pull the tire apart and replace it since there are not special tools needed.

There are air stem taps available to clean up the damaged threads, or you could post a pic and maybe someone would have what you need. I know I have some extras.

If you are planning on taking the rim apart you will need a new o ring to re-seal it. There are 3 different sizes depending on which rim you have. I was able to get the rim apart but could not get it to seal I had a local truck tire shop do it. It was money well spent. Don't expect the tire shop to have the o rings though.

You will need the valve stem assembly and the o ring to re-seal your 2 piece rim. I am not sure how to determine which o ring the rim uses without taking it apart. I believe there is a way to reference the number of bolts that hold the rim together to tell which o ring it uses. I have seen the o rings and the valve stems in the classifieds here. They can also be found on the net in various places. It is a wise idea to have a second spare rim and tire around just in case.

I would start with the part number listed in the parts TM. Google it, look at the result from parttarget, read the manufacturer's name and part number. Google again.
