I would appreciate any pictures you can come up with.  I haven't looked in the service manual yet.  It seems to be a bit vague about things. I only have a MIG welder, no lathe or torches.  I have a friend with a set of mini torches.  There isn't a machine shop nearby.If anyone is going to try to get the valve out, clean it well even if you think it's clean enough.  Get a 1" stubby combo wrench and a 1" flare nut wrench, and replace the detent balls and springs.  I spent 2 partial days disassembling and 1 partial day reassembling for this.  I'm thinking that capping off the rear hyd ports on the valve might be the way to go.  I spent about 2 hrs reaching around the engine to get that one fitting off, and an hour getting it back on.</blockquote>
