Thanks, Wet_boots. My dealer told me to use a strap wrench, so I bought one today. I will try both the slip and the strap tomorrow and report on how it came out. Thanks so much for your help. Paul

The only oddity is that when I manually turn on station 9, the water on 7 goes down for a second and then comes back up. (I am not sure there is a 9, since the valve box has four valves, and I know...
