oliver2-44 9,679 #26 Posted April 23 Take a hair dryer and prop it up and let it run. It won’t overheat things but a good heat soak could help loosen the valve. If it doesn’t move let it cool then heat it again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CRF857 60 #28 Posted October 23 FINALLY!! After months of soaking, tapping with a hammer, and trying to twist.I got the valve to move. I even tried prying it straight up. I opened up the groove on a pry bar and using a steel rod ,put upward pressure on it while tapping with a hammer. It budged a little after that. It then loosened up and would twist 360*. reinstalled the washer and nut , and installed a new roll pin Now I will have to twist it occasionally to keep it limber. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
