Looking for some help with my Oceanic Flex dry suit inflate valve. It leaks air very slowly, most of the time. It will do this at depth and on the surface. I can use my finger and very lightly cicle the valve and it will stop but it starts to leak again if I move the suit. So I have tried to take it apart. I thought it would open if I twisted it but it will not unscrew. Am I not twisting hard enough? There is no manufacturers name / marking on the metal parts nor on the plastic. Anyone know for sure how it comes apart or otherwise familiar with these things? I have removed the hose connection part. That required a 1/2" wrench and that came undone. There is an "O" ring present there, it is in good shape and it does not leak. The leak is around the fill button.
Hope I don't have to remove both sides of this valve and glue in a new one!

Thanks for any info you can share - twosheets
