Need to disassemble purge solenoid
I have a purge solenoid that is sticking open.
Lesson learned, do not point purge lines up where they can be rained in.
Any way, it seems that my purge lines filled with rain water, and now my purge solenoid is sticking open.
Does anyone have any ingenious "around the house" object I can use to remove the stem from the base. I do not have a spanner wrench to do this.
Thanks,
Rick

Got it apart, and cleaned.
Have a question about the spring though.
It seems awfully small. What are your thoughts on shimming or replacing with a slightly higher rate spring to aid with closing and sealing..?
