When I remove the dust cap from the valve on a wheel on my 200 coupe,air is escaping quite fast.I have tried reseating the pin with some narrow plyers,to no avail.It's a metal valve on an alloy wheel.I had this problem a few years ago and I seem to remember the tyre depot were able to extract the centre of the valve and replace it without having to remove the tyre and replace the whole valve.Can anyone confirm this can be done?
Can' t check with a tyre place as they are currently closed.
