LS8 water valves
They are threaded. You will notice two holes in the rim of the valve
seats. You get yourself and adjustable "pin wrench", put the tips into the holes on the rim of the valve seat, and unscrew the seat. Mine were weeping water. I removed them, placed silicone sealer on the threads, and replaced them. Perfect. Guy Acheson, "DDS"
