you need to put a threaded rod into the valve, use a steel plate with a hole in it over the rod, then use a hex nut on the rod to pull the valve out, could possibly destroy valve but you have no choice

I already thought that. But in case it doesn't work, I need a replacement.

thanks Ramin

I too have the air cylinders. As a tip, Once a year I purchase the tune up kit (new paddle and O rings) from Dupree products. I pull the old ones out and install the new ones. Use a long screw driver and an old rag to clean any junk out of the groves on the bottom. apply plumbers grease to the new one and reassemble. so far no problems.

Has anyone swapped out the paddles on the gray water tank on an FC? Any suggestions?

Hi Ramin,

It's not new but if it will help get you going (pun intended), I have a reasonably clean "used" paddle with reasonably clean "used" rubber seals that you can have (if you want it)... I can send it to Andy if he PM's me his mailing address.

Ramin and Andy
You can contact me at dhammock@weldmold.com with an address. When Stephen's open again I'll get a new one and let you know the price.
