reg valve pin question

[AmyM]

Hey,

I need help with the following highlighted part from blackvcg'g post:

Now, with your fingers lift up on the stem, which is the reg. valve pin. It is usually stuck in the valve and will require you to wiggle it a bit and pull hard to get it out. Now, clean off the o-rings on the end of the stem. There will be a plastic spacer inbetween the two o-rings. Yes, it is suppose to have a slit in it. Clean off the stainless part of the stem that contacts the reg. valve pin. Oil the o-rings and put it back in the valve. Oil the reg. seat and put that back in. Then, place the brass piece back on top of that o-ring with the four cross hatch cuts facing out towards you. Oil and put that small o-ring into the brass piece.

How do I get the spacer and o-rings off?, all the o-rings in this valve are hard as a rock, and a nice dark brown color. Any help is appreciated!!! :)

Thanks,
Amy

an oring pick works great. There is a little c-clip holding all of thei together so you dont want to take off or loose that. You can roll the new orings and spacer back on without tools.
