I'm a little confused by this question. The valve stem is just beside the seat, is that the one you are talking about? I've never had a problem getting to it.

Yep that's the one. It's not impossible to get to or anything but it more difficult than I would like with my short fat fingers. While I was cleaning the other day it hit me how easy it would be I could put a 90 degree valve stem in there.

That can be a bugger to get to, I haven't seen one, but thats not to say that it can't be done

The problem with most 90* bent stems is getting enough clearance to screw them on. Not much room there as noted.

One could rebend a 90* stem to about 45* and that should work pretty good I think or simply just add an extender stem.
