My old tire gauge had a little knob to let air out if I put in a bit more than I wanted. Any one know a way to do that with this one?

You can release tire pressure by leaning the unit a bit "off center" while holding the tire valve plunger open and let the air escape, then recenter and take the new pressure... works well.

Just push it in the hole and compression hold it in place if it's loose you might need to change the rubber ring

I have this in-line gauge, between the pump and the valve. I've noticed the cheap pump fights the tire pressure when trying to read it with the gauge. Not sure I like the pump; I suspect it is the pump/gauge that's the issue - not necessarily the 90 adapter.

No, sorry; however, if it came with a broken gauge I'm sure you can contact amazon and you can return it for a different one.

A valve stem tool would be handy. It is best to remove the valve core, squeeze in the amount of Slime you want, replace the core and re-inflate. That way the Slime goes in faster and the core won't get as gummed up.

MY answer was assuming you wanted to actually fill your tires with air! Otherwise why would you be looking to buy a compressor to just ck the tire pressure? .. if thats the case , just by a simple tie pressure gauge!

The "old fashioned way". Get a good quality tire pressure gauge. You can also use it to compare pressures from your other tires to be more certain.

yes...just turn the adjustment knob...it slowly brings the diameter down to whatever you want

Yes, you just don't use the pressure gauge with it. Just use it like a big pot.

Yes, But you really do not need the whole gauge. Use the end of a cylinder compression tester that screws into the spark plug hole. The other end that the gauge goes on, plug your air line into. If you use the Gauges, just turn your Regulator all the way up so you get Max. Pressure in the cylinder Chamber.Pressurize cylinder with both valves closed AND Piston at the Top of the Cylinder.If you loose pressure the piston will keep the valve from falling all the way down into the Cylinder.

I have not taken gauge out. We did remove the threaded outlet nipple to attach a hose and must say it was difficult. I hope this helps

There should be a sticker on the top with a plus and a minus. Turn the knob toward the plus to increase pressure or towards the minus for less pressure. When i got mine i turned it all the way to the right and then while turning it back to the right i counted the number of turns divided the total number of turns by 2 then i knew where "medium" pressure was. Hope this helps!

That has not been a problem with me. When I unscrew the inflation hose from the tire valve stem a small amount of air comes out, but on a car tire it makes no difference in pressure. Maybe there is something wrong with your pump that you should speak to the manufacturer about.

I had no problem putting air to the tires by using a regular hand pump. Perhaps you might want to check the pump? Make sure the pump head is inserted fully to the tire's valve

I'm not sure what you are asking but the gauge snaps into a normal air fitting and I can leave the compressor running. The air into the tire is controlled by the inflator lever and the end that going onto the valve stem locks into place and holds itself there until it is released. Sorry but I hope this helps

There is a schrader valve near the tank pressure gauge. A standard auto type tire chuck will fit the filler valve.

Mine changed easily with the screw. I would tend to think you may have gotten a defective one...which is a shame because this really is a fantastic gauge. I've had no problems since installing mine. :-(
