Hi Mike,
Th valve that you are working with is actually a "taper plug" valve.=20
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.=20
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.=20
