8. Holding the lower piston plate, pull the valve straight off the block. The alignment
pins may stick slightly.
9. Remove and discard the old valve diaphragms and gaskets.
10. Clean the sealing surface as required using a non-lint-forming cloth and isopropyl

c. Return the valve to the assembly.
d. Reconnect all fittings and tubing.
