I actually think I need this, I think it might be leaking out of the O Ring thru the little stem on top.
Any tricks to putting them in, lube on ring of some kind etc. part # 18-7044

If you're talking about the red valve when you say stem, it will pull straight out if you grip it firmly and tug. Let me know if you need that o-ring, I have a few extra and can get you one for 44 cents.

I don't know awthacker, $.44 sounds a little steep. Beware Willy, I think he is trying to swindle the ol WOR!

Seriously, good thread. I've seen that red valve before and wondered myself what it was for. Good luck on a cheap fix bud. Don't get too many of those "cheap" fixes.

If you want to lube an o-ring to make it easier to slide on, give it a squirt of WD-40. (Yet another one of the 2000+ uses covered on their website)

Thanks for the offer on the O ring, but to be safe I ordered that full kit with the new cap, valve and gasket to re-do the whole top from the site Skools posted.
You say the red stem just pulls straight out ?

It does... I took a bunch of screws out before I realized it just pulled out. Grip it with some pliers and pull on it.
