installing a new valve?

[kdawg]

I am just wondering if anyone has a trick on how to install a new valve without tearing the oring on the body of it. It is extremely snug when trying to put it in and the threads on the lpr cap seem to want to tear it up.

any suggestions?

thanks

LUBE LOTS OF LUBE...also if you tear the oring not a big deal just get a new one...you should be able to find one at the hard ware store. A trick most people have learned when removing the valve is to take the RAM out and shove the thing out from the oposite end

yeah, lubed the hell out of it and tore one oring already. It just doesn't want to go back in.....wouldn't think it would be that tight. any tricks to get it in? Dowel and a large hammer??????? :notsure:

ive always just pushed them in with my thumb then used the end of one of my broken bendie swabs to push it in the rest of the way.

that's what I've done on all other markers also. But for some reason this IR3 wants to be a pain.
