As this is not accessible, a drop of lubricating oil down the bleed button stem can often solve the problem.
If so, optionally add a drop of Thread Lock or similar to the joint to prevent this happening again.Ģ) Sometimes the pressure reading no longer holds on the display dial when the gauge is removed from the tire valve due to dust or dirt getting on to the valve seat inside the gauge stem.Tighten the threaded joint on the stem of the tire gauge back up and check the gauge is now holding pressure.Sometimes this can happen if the hose is repeatedly turned over 360 degrees and the joint below becomes loosened. Please note: this is NOT the joint where the flexi hose meets the stem which IS designed to turn. If your Flexi-Pro tire gauge no longer holds a pressure reading, this is usually due to 2 main reasons:ġ) The joint on the tire gauge stem directly above the bleed button and below the two grooves has become loose and pressure is escaping. Remove the gauge from the tire valve and press the bleed button once more to release the pressure and ‘zero’ the gauge back. Holding the pressure gauge on the tire valve, press and hold the bleed button on the side of the tire gauge for a few seconds at a time to release air from the tire, then release the bleed button to view an accurate pressure reading.Ĭontinue bleeding pressure in this manner until the precise tire pressure required has been attained. If the position of the valve makes this difficult, simply reverse hands and operate the bleed button using your right index finger instead.

It is recommended to push the head of the chuck onto the tire valve with the thumb of your right hand, whilst holding the body of the gauge with your left hand if possible, as this leaves your left thumb free to operate the bleed button whilst maintaining a good seal on the valve.
