The present invention is a tire valve tool for use in servicing valve stems in tubeless pneumatic tire rims. The tool may be used to install a valve stem into a tire rim and may also be used to extract a valve stem from the tire rim. The tool includes a clamping jaw assembly at one end of an elongated handle. A lever arm attached to one of the clamping jaws serves to provide both a fulcrum point for accomplishing a mechanical advantage in pulling on the valve stem and as a lever for applying a closing force to the jaw assembly in order to grip the valve stem. The clamping jaw assembly is shaped so that valve stems in rims with recessed valve stem openings can be grasped below the main rim surface without causing damage to the rim surface. The tool preferably incorporates a non-marring material for the fulcrum end of the lever in order to minimize damage to the rim surface.
