    Thanks,

    get a flat head screw driver and take the valve out and put some vaseline on the threads, then put back in, just make sure you don't accidentally unscrew the valve itself

    the valve itself can be unscrewed to get access to the little spring and other internals. this came loose on mine when i was cleaning it after i had not used it in ages, luckily, the parts didnt fly far and all i had to do was just pop them all back together.

    EDIT: if your worry is that you can remove the valve with the flat head in a wrong way and actually unscrew the vavle. you can't, well shouldn't be able to, just get a flat head and remove the valve from the 40mm and then put vaseline on it, when you look at the valve you should be able to see a line on the lower half of the valve, this is where it separates, so just be careful, it shouldn't happen but just a heads up, hopefully it makes sense, if not i could try get pictures.
