    I’ve cleaned them several times:).

    Use an impact screwdriver to take the 2 screws off of the black housing on top of the valve. Once those are removed, you’ll get the cylindrical magnet and spring off and have access to the valve;).

    I say impact screwdriver as the materials are dis similar requiring a blunt force to free them. If you try to use a normal Phillips screwdriver, you’ll mar the heads and need new screws:(.

    Good luck and keep us posted (y).
