The picture you see is shooting thru a small access hole, To get in
there
with soldering torch , cutting tools, etc is going to take major
work. I
read that these things can be rebuilt without removing the body.



make the hole bigger, use a couple shark bite connectors, you're done in
15 minutes or less. And no broken off screws which lead to replacing it
anyway and being without water.


I don't know the ratings for shark bites, but the pressure before the
regulator could be well over 150psi. After the regulator it's no
problem but before it....???? Maybe the water company will tell you the
approximate pressure?
