After that there are the problems of removing the stem and the small bezel at the interface to the tyre valve stem(in order to renew the gasket there.
This is pretty much like a watch hand. And they can be tough. I suggest 2 paint can lid removal tools used as pry bars, even pressure on opposite sides. Be sure to protect the dial with thick paper.
