One of my Jandy 3-way valves was giving me some resistance so I thought I would service all of them, change O rings, and grease them all. Bad idea.
I started to unscrew the cap on one of the non-problem Jandy valves and BAM- that sucker broke completely and the pump wont prime unless I plug it with my finger. The top cover on the valve wont come off at all, I used a wrench and almost broke a screw port. Forget that...![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Im more concerned with the piece stuck inside the valve bc the pump wont prime. What is a good way to get the remaining threaded part out of the valve so I can put a new cap in and call it a day? There is hardly anything for needle nose plyers to grip to and just my luck, the place I need to access is tight and facing a wall so its really tough to use normal size tools. So frustrated!
