Troubleshooting
Valve core is stuck or difficult to remove.
Apply penetrating oil to the valve core and let it sit for a few minutes. Use the valve core remover with firm but controlled pressure. If the core is severely damaged, replacement may be necessary.
Thread restorer does not fit or seems to damage the threads further.
Ensure you are using the correct thread restorer for the type and size of the valve. Apply light pressure and try turning in both directions to see if it catches the threads. If it still doesn't fit, the threads may be too damaged and replacement of the valve may be necessary.
Tool seems to slip or the grip is insufficient.
Ensure the tool is clean and dry. Use gloves if necessary for better grip. Apply consistent pressure while using the tool to prevent slipping.
