Are there any mass-marketers..ie..Sears, etc. that might sell a tool suitable for this re-dyeing?

I have R-12 gauges, but am simply trying to avoid having to extract refrigerant, remove hose, pay for hose repair, etc.

Thanks.
Oh I see. Not the valve core. I'd say your best bet is to find a thread file and go at it. I don't know offhand what thread pitch the service fittings are, but I could find out tomorrow (daylight) if that'd help.
