the low pressure valve on my a/c leaks out of the valve body. the cap doesnt seal it very well. some fiddling with a pair of pliers got it to stop though. i know they sell them at walmart for $9. im wondering if its possible to tighten the valve in it, or if i will have to replace it when the system runs out of pressure?

 

Its just a shrader valve like in the tires valve stem. Get a tool to tighten it. Don't break it. If it still leaks then you will need to replace it.

 

do you know where i could find one? i have a valve stem removal tool for tires, but it isnt long enough to fit in there.

get em a most part/ tool stores

look for the ones that look like a screw driver not that lil four sided one

 

Some places like maybe pimp boys have the tool in the ac section to. They may have a double sided kind with two different sizes. I think I got mine from there.

 

i found a pair of really really long tweezers (no idea where i stole them from), and i was able to reach in there and turn it maybe one hour on a clock. its holding now. but i will probably try to find one as im going to convert the a/c on my friends truck
