Glad to hear you got it put back to together and running.

You did a great job!
I opted to remove the water inlet valve from the frame (disconnecting its hose of course first). That way I didnt have to risk breaking the pipe or the valve.
That is great, I often do that or cut it off and put on a new flex water line.
Then I used my leatherman saw blade to cut off the plastic around the shaft.
Got to love them leatherman multi-tools. I use one daily and they have a thousand uses.
Thank you for your support. This web site is an asset for the do-it-yourselfers.
Thanks, glad we could help.
