You can bank on Bill's advice. If the set is like I think it'll be, the Fronts and the Rear Outers will go right in place and not require any bending.
The Rear Inner Valves will likely be LONG, like maybe 7-inches, and the kit will come with rubber Stabilizers. All the shop has to do is install the Inner Valve, then lay them on the floor. Inner Valve pointed Up, Outer Dual on top of it facing as if mounted on the axle. The long Inner Valve will probably need to be bent just a little to get it to line up with one of the "hand holes" in the Outer wheel, with the Stabilizer mounted in it. Easiest way is to use two small box-end wrenches slipped down over the valve. One holds the part between where it mounts to the wheel steady so you bend only the outer end of the valve. They're solid brass and pretty stiff, but the wrenches allow plenty of leverage to bend them in a controlled manner.
Air-Through Caps are the icing on the cake! You'll be able to check all six in under six. They probably won't need air unless something is actually wrong with a tire. And you can do it with any kind of air gauge, any kind of air chuck. NO messing around.
