Cliff,
I presume you are talking about the tipping valve.
Others have advised buying a large allen wrench (1/2" I think), but I used a
bolt and a couple of nuts. I used the head of the bolt as the "allen wrench".
First, I placed two nuts on the shaft of the bolt and tightened them together,
as for installing/removing studs. Then I inserted the head of the bolt into
the tipping valve retainer and used a box wrench at the nut further on the bolt
to remove the retainer, the other nut to tighten it back in.
Cost for special tool = $0.00, disassemble the bolt/nuts and return the pieces
to the hardware jars.
