I can't find the link to the fantastic solution.
Simple enough to explain.
Drill a small hole on the face of the slide out valve near the rod.
The face meaning the area where the T handle lives. Spray some silicon lube inside the small hole. Exercise the vavle.
When done, just put in a small screw to plug the hole. I had some stainless ones so don't need to worry about rust.
These valves are smoother than when new.
Might work OK, except my actual valves are under the colorplast underlayer and packed in foam insulation. (from the factory this way). Unless I bust through the colorplast and chisel away all that foam, this isn't going to happen for my situation.
