Dually Inner Tire Valve Stem Extenders: Where to Buy & Install Guide for RVs & Trucks

Got quoted for a whole new valve stem system on my Class C Ford E-450, but shouldn't 4.25x2.25 oval dually stabilizers work for these 225/75R16 tires instead? The inner dually tires are nearly impossible to check air pressure without proper extenders.

I need to check my rear tire pressure, but this thing is stuck tighter than my budget after buying this money pit on wheels.

I can see two nuts at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions that look like they've seen some action (one's even got a split down the side - yay, previous owner "repairs"). They budge just slightly when I try to loosen them, but won't come off even with my impact wrench. My brilliant brain is now wondering: should I just pry this simulator off, or do I really need to get those stubborn nuts loose first?
