The "I have no clue where they got their brains from" folks will holler that "OH you will break it if you do that" (Not true) but here is a fact.. It's already broken.. You might fix it, or you might not but worst case is you don't fix it
You depressurize the system first. If you don't, there is a CHANCE that the ring washer will be pushed out of place. Not always, but sometimes. If you depressurize first, there is not enough force to push the ring washer out, but you still get water backflowing out of the valve.
