assuming the bike is an nc23 a wise man (graeme france) told me not to bother unless you have the right tool for it...

is it not just a screw on valve? (I.e. like one for a bicycle?)

thats what it looks like to me + your only talking around 3psi so the pressure isnt high either?

yep dont even worry about it
its just an air valve like on a bike or car
ive raced mine for the past 3 years without altering pressure...and its been competitive as.
rebuild your forks and put the cap on..job done
or rebuild your forks with the nc29 preload adjusting cap for summin to fiddle with.
