  • Leaky valve stem

    Had a slow leak on the front tire, used the soap and water trick to find out that air is leaking around the threads of the valve stem. Any trick or tips on how I should seal it up? Can I just remove the one nut from the outside put something on it to stop it from leaking? Looks like its just leaking by the threads, not at the base or anything...

    Tighten up the nut see if it stops leaking.............replace valve stem, and could do it without removing wheel or removing tire.
