When you take out the old valve stem and there is enough weight on the tire it will go flat and possibly break the seal around the rim, making it difficult to re-inflate the tire. It is best to put a jack under the cart first. You don’t need to actually jack up the cart, but rather have the jack support the weight of the cart while you swap out the valve stem and re-inflate the tire. Also, I would recommend using an air compressor to blow out the threads on the inside of the tire valve before putting in the new valve stem just to be sure there is no grit in there that would prevent a good seal.
