6.  After removing the Stem Nut, the remainder of the Disc & Diaphragm Assembly should disassemble easily. Polish stem guide  

surfaces with fine emery cloth to remove any mineral deposits and inspect for excessive wear. Remove any mineral build-up from 

other components with wire brush or by using a Mineral Dissolving Solution. Inspect parts for wear and replace if necessary.

7.  Inspect valve seat. If seat is not damaged, removal is not necessary. Valve seats 6" and smaller are threaded into the body of the 

valve and require a seat removal tool (Figure 5) (Table 1 details the tool dimensions for seat removal). Valve seats 8" and larger are 

held in the valve body with stainless steel cap screws. Remove seat retaining screws and lift seat straight up (Figure 6).
