Backwash slide valve will not pull out!


Recommended Posts

I have watch a handful of videos and run across many posts about taking the slide valve out of the housing of the backwash valve. Even ones that look really stuck. But in the end they just keep wiggling and pulling and get it out. But I just can't remove mine. It only goes up a little bit, doesn't wiggle side to side at all. And no matter how hard I pull or even if I push down and then pull up as fast as I can, it never moves more that what seems like the usual distance of normal operation. Is there some kind of slide hammer tool I can use? Some trick I am missing? I really don't want to cut and re pipe in an all new assembly.
