I went to check my loaded rear tires tonight for air pressure. This is actually the first time checking the rears, I have checked my fronts quite a bit. Anyways... I got into a can of worms. I positioned the valve stems on the top. Pushed in the valve stem core to let the small amount of chloride out before checking the air pressure, but it kept coming out. Not a very fast, a very small stream. So I put the valve cap back on. Went to to the other side and samething happend /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif. So I put the caps back on tight and check for leaks at the caps. Seemed not to be leaking. I need to fix this becasue caps aren't ment to keep the air and chloride in.
Questions:
Aren't tires only supposed to be loaded about 2/3 of the tire?
If so, could I put the valves at about 2/3, and remove the valve stem core and let the cloride run out till it reaches that level? I would jack the rear of the tractor up and wash down the chlordie in good shape with water?
Should I get new valve stem cores? These were letting chloride leak by after I pushed the core down to check the tire pressure.
Thanks
