Hi Mike,
Th valve that you are working with is actually a "taper plug" valve.
I just freed up 2 of them this morning for the 100 engine that I'm building.
I have found that a gentle tap on the small shaft that extends below the
spring is usually enough to loosen the taper and free up the valve.
Don't hit it too hard or you will damage the brass shaft.
If that doesn't work you have to remove the split (cotter) pin, then the
washer then the spring. That will expose the end of the taper which when
tapped with a hollow punch will drop out.
