What is the best way to tighten valve stems on the wheels on or the off the vette?
I'm have a very slow leak in left rear wheel and believe it the valve stem is not tight enough. I did not know if should take the wheel off and tighten. Any help would be great.

No need to remove the wheel from the car to tighten it.

I had a similar leak in my right rear that turned out to be a not properly tightened valve stem nut and torqued all of mine using a deep socket to the torque spec listed above and now 2 years later still holds air the same on all four wheels.
