I'm throwing in the towel on rebuilding these. I have 3 total. 1 of them may be toast due to problems getting stupid ring back in it. Looking for someone to undertake the challenge for $ to keep them from being wall hangers.
Prolite valve rebuild I give up

Id have to look for it, but I swore I saw mention of using a snap ring in place of the split ring for the valve retention. The style with the 2 holes that use those special pliers for.
May help if you can find those. -
Those are internal retention snap rings. I bought a few at ace but none worked even after thinning and trimming. It's like I need 5 baby hands working at the same time.Comment

Are the similar to the valve in the original style 98s? Sounds like it and yup they are pain to get out! I don’t remember specifically how I eventually got it removed but it involved picks, pliers and my own tears to remove it. Thankfully much easier to put back in.Comment
