NOTE: Remove the valves by tapping the valve body on the palm of the hand to slide the valves out of the bores or by threading a 4-mm bolt into the valves and pulling them out. If it is necessary to use a pick, use extreme caution to prevent damaging the valves or valve bores. If necessary, disassemble parts of the main control valve body in small groups. Arrange the parts as they are removed to avoid mixing similar pieces.
