How to remove a Schrader Valve Core

How to remove a Schrader valve core on a bicycle. Can be applicable to car. Reasons to remove core include injecting sealant (such as Slime), tighten valve to prevent air loss, deflate tire faster, unclog valve of sealant, & replace corroded valve core because of sealant. Sealant has its pros & cons. It will clog punctures but will also clog & corrode your valve core. Sometimes the material in the sealant can impede the seating of the seal on the valve core. So you have to clean the valve area after injecting sealant. I recommend using Tannus Armour (non tubeless version) instead of sealant. Or buying puncture resistant tires see my YouTube Video on recommendations.
You can buy a SCHRADER valve core remover at all automotive part retailers. It is readily available. Presta valve core removers can only be bought at bike shops or online.
