.Hello Everyone,
I have run into a holdup on the updated wheel valve release so I am perusing a rebuild kit instead. This kit would include a vented cover and protective bracket, new diaphragm good for -30F operation, and screws. The seat and spring would be your responsibility to clean and reuse.
Here is the the major concern: The cover screws are extremely hard to remove without breaking and they fail right at the body. I would like to get some feedback from many of you on the success rate of loosening these screw.
NOTE! Do not use a drill or impact until they are loosened. You may also try a moderate bit of heat on the body at the screw location. If you break one screw, 3 will hold the cover on fine. Even 2 screws across from each other will sufficiently hold the lid on. Small leaks during inflations and deflations ore acceptable.
Thanks, hope to here from you.....
Penetrating oil for several days.
It isn't great but I try the screw, apply more penetrating oil, try the screw again (and so on).
