<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After reading your first paragraph, I was getting
ready to drive over to your house and smash your dremel with a 16 pound
sledge. I am glad you were just kidding. Anyway I hope the problem
is solved and you get back in the air soon.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good luck,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well folks, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is what I did, I pulled the head and took it
apart just like Mike Darr told me to do. I didn't even lose the spring
retainers. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I chucked the stem up in my Dremel and cranked it
up on high, having some plumbers sandpaper handy I ran a strip of 100 grit on
the stem until it shines like new! That ought to do it!!
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Not really, I did just like Verne told me too and
used a # 11 and scraped it gently just until the rough stuff was gone. I
wiped the stems with a rag and am ready to re-install the valves. I am
going to use toothpaste to re-seat the valves and my question is, when I'm
done with that can I just wipe the excess off or do I need to clean it with
something special before re-assembly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance,</FONT></DIV>
