Mitzi BC Box Solenoid vale removal tool

[beebarron]

I had an issue with a faulty solenoid coil on a CMB P1010V E BC box, where the coil was knackered and had melted on to the valve spindle.

While gently (honestly) trying to prize the coil off the whole spindle sheared off :( - luckily I sort of thought this might happen so had pumped down the unit as a precaution.
So only dumped a bit of gas on to my head :(

The valve bodies are available as spares - phew and seem to be removable, but need a 2 pin tool to remove.

Mitz don't stock them Any idea where I might get one?

Bent nose circlip pliers - poke the prongs in the hole & heave ho (aka, The Fangs of Fury!)

Ps, I've been known to trim / shape / grind the prongs for a snug fit - a special purpose tool that you will probably never ever use again..

Thanks

Unfortunately Mitz now say that the solenoid valves are no longer available for the CMB P1010V E BC box :(

I had 2 similar cases this week - with coils melted on to spindles - but managed to pull them of with a small bearing puller :)
