Both types of the hydro check valves are still made and available (check sponsors above
).
To remove the valve.... Thoroughly CLEAN the area all around both valves. Remove the sticking valve and using PB Blaster or a good solvent flush the valve. On the bottom is a tiny hole that you can use the back end of a small drill bit to push up on the ball. This will help the top button to pop back up. Repeat this a few times until you see the button moves freely. I don't recommend using Brake Cleaner since it will make the internal O rings swell and cause premature failure. WD40 is okay however when used excessively tends to build up a sticky film. Keep us posted.
Off to work in a bit. Everyone have a SAFE and wonderful weekend.
