Dissassemble by holding the round part in a vise and unscrewing the hex end.

I tried to rebuild one once.... The piston was so badly stuck that I had to force it out with hydraulic presure. The valve contains Metric U-pac seals... Not a rebuild kit avalable (at that time) . I installed an adjustable valve from Wildwood. Seems like Ford had a replacement (1970 part#) for mega-bucks.

Required tools for operating a Vintage Mustang:
1. Duct Tape
2. J.B. Weld
3. B.F.H. (Big Fat Hammer)

The proportioning valve from my 65 Gt was rebuilt by a specialty brake shop in Southern CA. I believe the kit was about $35 and labor $45. It works like new.

I soaked it in penetrating oil for several weeks before I dismantled it, and realized my skills weren't up to putting a new kit in.

Good luck.
