At any rate, it has not been a problem as you can use a nut drive or socket with extension.

I installed Michelin slow leak tubes over three years ago and am now on the second set of tires with the same tubes. I do a visual check each preflight and remove the front half of the wheel pants once a month or so to check pressure, takes about 15 minutes to do both mains. So far I have never seen the tire pressure drop by more than one psi per month and it is usually more like one psi in two or three months. Desser Tire sells the tubes, they ain't cheap but for my in my opinion well worth the cost.

I then went and got a straight pressure gauge from Sears. I check mine every two weeks because of crappy tubes that leak. I will be changing them next set of tires.
