    you mean car schrader type valve? remove the core clean and replace,

    yes there is I got one from a bike shop a while back cost me £2 If you have a very fine pair of snipe nosed pliers you might be able to unscrew the core but be very very careful you could butcher the valve much better to buy valve core tool
