You got luckier than I did. I tried to do the same thing on a tube less than a year old, and the whole metal part of the stem was corroded to nothing. As soon as I twisted the core housing the whole thing came right off the tube. I pumped out the tire broke it down and put in another new tube from a different dealer. The dealer I got the tubes from last summer (Farmall M, four new tires and tubes, nearly $900 installed), had already been out last summer to replace one tube. The tires were less than two months old at the time, and the only break he would give me was to sell the new tube at cost. The only reason I didn't do that one myself was that the tractor wasn't at home, and I expected a little support from the dealer. That tube looked as if he had pinched it with a tire iron when he did the original installation. I didn't even bother to call him about the latest one, and will not be calling him soon about any other tires.
