Before you take out the tube.....

Not exactly a remarkable tip, but I thought i'd share.

I had a very slow leak on my spare on the phaeton. It was one of those things I was going to get to one of those days and I finally pulled the wheel off on Saturday as was going to get after it.

For some reason I decided to take the valve stem tool to it and see if it was loose.......it took almost a full turn. Leak fixed.

Sometimes it's the easy fix.

My brother (ASC certified mechanic) says "always try the easy stuff first, even if it's not the most likely".

For one thing, you won't kick yourself after 2 hours of work to figure out that it was something simple.
