@Saad12 I used a valve removal tool like the one that bclexus posted. I just went into the local autoparts store and asked if they had one.

This tool (Amazon link below) is actually a torque tool which is set to precisely 4 inch-pounds to prevent under and over torqueing the core valve.

This was a long thread about a tire leak. I would have taken my car to a Tire shop or Dealers and had it checked. It could have been many things including the Tire pressure sensor not being tight. lol!
