That's a cool tool! Valve is no longer stuck, but I haven't pressed it
down far enough to see what's going on. It looks like you used a flat
bar, drilled two holes - one to match with the valve stem - the other to
line up with a bolt hole - then used it to press down the valve? I like
that! Not sure if my drill will handle metal, but am seriously
considering it.
