Do Schrader valves fail?
It’s possible that you’ve punctured the tube (due, eg, to a missing/defective rim strip). Over pressure is not the problem, Schrader valves are good for hundreds of PSI (thousands for high spec ones). If it is not leaking from the valve, check that the valve stem is not damaged.

How to remove Schrader valve on high side of AC?
Then keep making an effort to remove it—-Dont do it so hard that you sheer off the tool- just keep the heat and oil on it- and you can tap the tool with a hammer—gently–the goal of the heat is to allow the oil to get down in the threads and to break up any corrosion.
Is it OK to un-stick a Schrader valve?
If they are built right, the metal will withstand the torque and the outside of the valve (the brass part you thread the core into) will help support it. This really should be a non-issue with a good tool.
Why is my Schrader valve leaking on the high side?
I’m pretty sure this valve is leaking because the leak detector beeps when it’s near it and there is leak detector dye down in the well where this valve is. So I don’t think penetrating oil is going to help anything. Do I have to replace the hose assembly that contains the valve to do it?
