I'd had it off last year and almost certain I'd replaced them. I know they shouldbe replaced, but seems a lot of these things have gray areas. IIRC when I checked the valves on my LX I reused the old ones without a leak in subsequent years.... Thoughts?

Okay! As they were replaced less than a year ago, I'll give 'em a look and go for it. Thanks! Positive
