4. Remove the valves by tapping the valve body on the palm of the hand to slide the valves out of the bores or by threading a 4 mm bolt into the
valves and pulling them out. It may be necessary to remove the valves and springs using a pick. If it is necessary to use a pick, use extreme caution
to prevent damaging the valves or valve bores. If necessary, disassemble parts of the main control valve body in small groups. Take special care
when handling the main control components, since they are the most precise and delicate parts of the transaxle. Neatly arrange the parts as they are
removed to avoid mixing similar pieces.
CAUTION:Do not stone or polish any valves. If the valves do not move freely, install a new assembly.
CAUTION:Compress the valve springs with a screwdriver and remove the retainers with a magnet. Use a pick to remove the bypass valve retainer.
