Default Power Valve Dissasembly

I think I probably damaged my power valve when I removed it. I didn't see Stangersite's strong reccomendation against using a pickle fork until it was too late. I don't know that it would have made a difference, it took my neighbors 20 ton press to get the ball stud out of the pitman.

Anyway, I noticed Chockostang's got the sleeve and housing for sale and I can get a rebuilt kit. The valve was working fine before I pulled it (the slave cylinder mount broke and, well, it's a long story). The problem is I don't know how to get the valve apart. I took the bolts out of the sleeve end but it won't pull apart, do I need to take the screws out of the other end?

To disassemble, the FIRST step is remove the end cap, remove the nut that is very apparent, remove spring, retainers, etc, keep track of the disassdembly. A good idea for the beginner, lay each part out on a table as it comes apart!

Then remove the two bolts that connect the control body to the sleeve. Pull apart, then simply disassemble all the rest.
