You need a valve wrench. Should be available at an auto or
bike parts store. The simplest ones look like small metal
valve caps with a metal extrusion with a slot across it and
a hole at the end to bleed air. These used to be pretty
common and actually used as valve caps until the smartalecs
started using them to remove the valve under them. Now most
come with a loop for attaching to a key chain.

The bigger type is a more specialized tire tool, has the
same valve wrench on it, but has the ability to be cocked
to the side at 90 degrees for leverage, like a breaker bar.
Some even have a torque wrench built in for accurate seating
of the valves.

A typical all in one tool looks sorta like this:

Well, I guess it depends if you are trying to remove
engine valves or tire valves... or not particularly
paying attention to the subject line, or haven't had
enough caffeine after lunch. Or are just having yet
another "duhhhhh" moment since I allegedly drink
enough caffeine to prevent Alzheimers for an entire
army.
