Hi guys. I tried adjusting pressure on my rear shock, and it takes air fine (doesn't hiss or leak while I am pumping), but then starts to hiss after I remove the shock pump.
I tried tightening the valve core with a valve core tool but that doesn't help. Took out the valve core and put a tiny amount of grease and retightened and that doesn't work.
Should I just buy a new valve core or is there something else going on here?
Would any valve for work? (Could I take one from another shrader valve to troubleshoot?) Or are they specialized for shocks specifically.

It’s just a standard Schrader valve.
It’s worth trying if you got one. That’s pretty much the only reason it would leak there IF that’s where it’s leaking.
