i have air leaking out of the pressure regulator knob area. There is a little hole in the knob area where the brass nut fits in. It never use to leak. Also the tank does not recover nearly as fast as it use to. I cant even get one wheel off my car using an impact wrench. I never had a problem with that.It said don't turn the regulator knob when the guage reaches max pressure. I did so. Did this damage the regulator? How can i fix it? thank you. Bob
Don't mess with it, replace it.

As another poster said, replace the regulator. Most air system components are relatively simple and can be repaired. That said, I wouldn't recommend that a pressure regulator should be someone's first experience with air system component repair since there is a safety issue.
On mine, the back screws off, exposing the offending mechanism. I take it apart, and clean and grease where the parts slide in and out. Re-assemble. Problem solved.
