Airing up dually

What am I missing? It’s almost impossible to get to the inside dually valve stems on my new 2017 F450 Lariat. I use a Powertank and cannot get to the valves.
But I do love this truck!

I have one and the inside valve stem angles toward the center too much to use it. Very frustrating.

Have you tried the back side. Hook side. You pull it out.

I use that for the outside tire. The attachment I use has threads on the inside so that it can screw on the stem. Maybe that is making it too hard because of the angle. When I try to push it on at that angle it grabs and I have to work to get it off.

On my DRW wheels I have to use two different chucks.

One with a straight end and one angled.

Like the two picture here.

That’s what I have from Powertank but it doesn’t work. I think I’ll go to Harbor Freight and see what I can find. Maybe they have one without threads on the inside that would slide on without catching.
