Quote: CVPost-SDE (quoted from post at 08:12:33 06/27/22) Jim, thank you for the pictures. I looked at them and I had expected this bad valve stem to unthread from the tube like the first two pictures. Below the threads for the valve cap is a hexagon that I think is there to hold the stem while you tighten the lock ring down against the rim. I guess I could try to hold the valve stem with a vise grip and try to turn the top of the valve stem with a wrench. Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks to be a one piece valve stem and I think I will destroy it trying to turn it.
My temporary fix was a steel cap, Teflon tape and tightened down the cap with a wrench. There wasn't a leak detected afterward, but I don't like this bandage fix.
It would help if you posted a picture of what you have. And what size tube exactly are you dealing with 15.5 is only part of it.
