I was reading a forum on this site regarding what to do when a Schrader valve core breaks ("Broken Valve Core?" is the title), but I am not able to reply to it so I thought I would ask here. A tech let us know that when he was checking the refrigerant pressure, the Schrader valve core wasn't working properly, and when attempting to remove it "the inner part of it has separated itself from the outer part leaving the shell if you want to call it still in the valve", and now says it is a much longer process to remove/replace. I read on the other forum that someone used an EZ-out tool to remove the broken piece, but my question is, with the part stuck in there, how do you block the refrigerant from coming out when the part is removed and then replaced?

I thought when you use the special tool to replace a Schrader core valve, it blocks the refrigerant from exiting...?!? My understanding is Yyou shouldn't have to remove the refrigerant to replace a Schrader core if it is removed properly (or in one piece).
