Re: [MBZ] Mono valve repair...
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...

It's not in Rusty's online catalog, are they readily available? Allan -- 1983 300D 1966 230 Rusty has the mono valve insert...I just did mine. Thought my ACC was bad, but it was the mono valve insert all the time. Be VERY careful taking apart the mono valve to replace the insert. It slides down through the coil that activates it. The coil is not held in the mono valve by much more than a little friction, and is connected to the plug by two VERY small, VERY thin wires. Don't ask me how I know. If you find out the way that I did, you can get a good used mono valve to go with your new insert from Kaleb. Again, don't ask me how I know Royce Engler 1985 300TD Turbo 293K
