That's great.  Any suggestions on how to get it apart though?  That hex bolt is extremely tight and there is no real way to grab onto the body without risking damage to the valve surfaces.

Never mind.  Got it.  Thanks for the link.  Greatly appreciated.

Here's a picture of the valve assembly, as requested.  I am assuming I have to remove the hex nut on the end and then replace/add a shim washer.  That nut, however, is not budging.

   So a "washer" goes between the nut and the barrel part ? Is there a size for it ?

Looks like they stacked several .016" thick washers.

   I don't imagine you can just get a hardware store washer can you ?

Maybe a hydraulic shop would have washers? Not sure if a regular hardware store washer would work? I've never done it before.

This would be an option.

You will find it difficult to find those washers. You might be better off finding something that matched the inner diameter and install several, then take a soft disc on a grinder and shape it down to size.
