A/C Leak - Any common issues?
#11
Is this a Shreader Valve or a "Schrader Valve", I think it may be the latter spelling.
If so it looks like they are available, I even see a core removal tool is it really such a small component, like a pneumatic tyre valve?
I haven't had time to check part numbers etc but if the cost is small perhaps its worth ordring replacements.
Any thoughts?

If I remember correctly the low side can be changed but the high side you have to take the top section of the fitting off. I don't believe you can do this with the system pressured up.
I'll step out in my shop and take a look, I've got a few extras laying around.

The low pressure side has an orifice that can be replaced. It is similar to a tire valve stem. There is a special tool and you have to make sure you use the correct orifice. I just bought a kit for about 5 bucks that came with three different sizes. Auto zone I think.
If you are not sure of where it is leaking you can recharge it with dye and use a special light that comes with the kit.
