To move a valve linearly to insert the valve into a valve hole without using a peripheral part of the valve hole in a wheel.SOLUTION: A valve insertion tool includes a holding member, a base member, a lever, and an arm part. The holding member holds a valve at one end side in a first direction. The base member includes a guide part which guides the holding member so that the holding member linearly moves along the first direction. The lever is supported by the base member in a manner that the lever can rotate around a rotation axis perpendicular to the first direction, and one end part of the lever is coupled to the holding member. The arm part is formed so as to extend from the base member to the one side in the first direction. The arm part includes: a stopper part which engages with a flange part in a wheel; and a contact part which contacts with at least a part of a portion in the wheel which ranges from a bead seat part to a hump part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】ホイールにおけるバルブ孔の周辺部を利用することなく、バルブをバルブ孔に直線移動させて挿入させる。【解決手段】バルブ挿入具は、保持部材と、ベース部材と、レバーと、アーム部と、を備える。保持部材は、第１の方向の一方の端側にバルブを保持する。ベース部材は、保持部材を、第１の方向に沿って直線移動するようにガイドするガイド部を含む。レバーは、ベース部材に、第１の方向に垂直な回転軸を中心に回転可能に支持されたレバーであって、レバーの一端部が保持部材に連結されている。アーム部は、ベース部材から第１の方向の一方側に延びるように形成されている。アーム部は、ホイールにおけるフランジ部に係止するストッパ部と、ホイールにおけるビードシート部からハンプ部までの部分の少なくとも一部に当接する当接部と、を含む。【選択図】図１
