Hello super6. Not sure if your unloading valve is same as my power major. Without taking valve chest off I was able to get mine out with a pair of hemostats, it would fit into the small holes in bottom of unloading valve and with a little preasure it came out. Mine has the little ball bearing between valve and seat, you need to watch for it. I guess the other way is by removing valve chest and going into it from the bottom after removing valve seat. Anyway good luck.
