Picture1: Here is that upper fitting removed from the pump body. Oh, and you’ll want to replace the o-ring here as well. It’s part # 021 997 88 48, but again, the dealer told me it had been replaced with # 012 997 72 45 – that is what I bought and used.
So the valve is inside the brass fitting. Thinking that I could just push it out, like the previous one, I inserted a punch through the top of the fitting and then proceeded to hammer it out. Uh, bad idea. The fitting is actually pressed around the valve, so that a small lip holds it in.
Picture 2: You can see the new valve sitting on top of the fitting to illustrate that the valve itself has a larger diameter than the opening in the fitting it is pressed into (obviously not apparent to me at first).
Picture 3: Clearly, I mucked it up trying to get it out, as you can see in the pic.
Picture 4: And this is what the old valve looked like when it came out (in comparison to a new valve) . . .

Plan on doing this today, what is the proper way to remove the valve without damage?
Edit:post #19 answered my question

Don't forget to grease the screw and threads on the spring compressor.
