| Post subject: | How to remove inflation valves for toobsealing |
How does one remove the valves in order to toobseal? Can everything be replaced? Or are extra replacement parts required? I have a VERY SLOW leak in one chamber... Takes 2 days or so. I can't find the leak so is probably somewhere inaccessible to my eyes. I want it fixed. Because the other chambers are holding. How do I remove the valve to dump toobseal in? How do I put valve back? Does it unscrew with that plastic tool in the Hobie repair kit? I tried using it to unscrew but I didn't want to force it as it wasn't working |

There is a tool to remove the valve. I'll see if I can find the ordering info for it. They do sell a plastic tool to remove the tool. I got, and it broke. Get the metal one. Better yet, if you can, go to a dealer. They should have one. Even better yet, I just spray some of the Hobie (or equivalent) UV protectant and restorer into the valve and actuate it a few times. It seems to help the valve 'seal' when its closed. But ask hobie or a dealer before doing it to make sure it's not gonna cause other problems. My dealer recommended it. Every year after a long winter storage at least one valve on 1 of my 4 inflatables leaks. One squirt takes care of it. |

That video is not available but I saw other related video links that did work and I got the basic idea thanks. I think I'll give this project to a dealer repair shop. |
