Actually that does help. With that grip frame I think you can get direct access to the attachment point of the trigger rod in order to remove it from the sear, it is under pressure but you may be able to remove it. I have a replacement rod if it gets damaged.

@Tuna: Oh ****. I don't know why that never occurred to me. Superman just literally just recommended the same course of action over on Reddit. I'll give that a shot when I get home.
Sometimes the hardest solutions to come to are also the simplest. Thank you!Comment

Not a fool friend... I've found myself in the same predicament, the only difference being I had an on/off instead of a Flatline. Hence I was able to get out of it easier...
Now, I always check the clearance when I put a new (to me) gun together, or I am working with a gun that I haven't personally set up. When testing, I always use a quickconnect with a slidecheck (or a Stabli Proconnect) on a remote line. If there are any failures on the gun, I can always fallback to those to safely degas....

I was going to let the oversight slide

I need to let things ruminate before my brain realizes the ideas are there. Sorry, Luke. You are the champ here!
I ended up picking up a couple Valken Proconnects to avoid this predicament in the future. I'm going to try loosening a fitting and see if that works. If it doesn't, I'll be right back here.
Either way, I will let everyone know how things go this evening!Comment

I wanted to update everyone who so generously donated their time and expertise to helping me figure out how to depressurize my Xvalve. First of all, thank you all! This is the kind of thing I really love about the paintball community: you folks are willing to help out some stranger in distant lands troubleshoot his marker without hesitation. You people are salt of the earth and I so very grateful for all your help. Notable mentions: Luke, Walker, Tuna, Superman (via reddit) and Tim at AGD (via email). Thank you all so much!
I arrived home yesterday and noticed the pressure in the valve had dropped to less than 600psi from the full 800psi it was that morning. So I left it alone in the hopes that the seep would continue... and low and behold, it has! It dropped an additional 120psi while I slept, kick total valve pressure down to around 480-490psi by this morning. So I'm thinking that when I get home from work today, it will be low enough that I should be able to pop the quick connect off by hand.
Thank you all for helping to walk me through this somewhat harrowing experience. I'm glad I didn't have to crack open any of the fittings to let pressure seep through there. I was confident that it would have been successful but I'm just happy I didn't have to go that way. My Valken Proconnects are supposed to arrive tomorrow afternoon and so hopefully, this will never have to go through anything like this again.Comment

100% an XValve. The anodizing has been stripped back to bare aluminum. I like the tuxedo look it gives.Comment

Have you addressed the other problem with the sear rod length?
If you have set of calipers you should start with the Trigger Rod length at 1.985" but it could need fine tuning with the aftermarket trigger. The measurement is less relevant than the actual gap measurement, you need about 1/32"
You measure the rod assembly itself, you dont need to remove the rod from the sear, this just illustrates the two measuring points.
