Yep...the thing that sticks up above the body of the valve...looks like a steel top hat... is the top end of what you see in the picture. The rubber thingy on the other end is what seats the valve. the "top hat" part is what "slides" through the electromagnetic coil that is in the top part of the valve body. It's that coil that you have to be careful of when you remove the valve insert. Take the four screws out on the top, pull out the whole assembly, support the coil from the bottom and push out the insert from the top. A little PBBlaster on it will help it slide out. HTH...
