STRIPPING AND CLEANING THE 
SOLENOID
Remove the three rubber grip screws from the right hand side of your 
grip frame and unplug the solenoid and BBSS from the PCB. Remove 
the two frame screws allowing you to remove your frame, Inline regulator 
and hosing set-ups from your Etek2 so that you are left with the solenoid 
exposed (SEE FIGURE 5.60).
Using a small Philips head screw driver, undo the two solenoid retaining 
screws (SEE FIGURE 5.61) and remove the solenoid from the minifold taking 
care not to loose the gasket from the face of the minifold.
With the solenoid detached from the minifold, use a small flat instrument 
to gently lever the two solenoid retainer clips off the solenoid (SEE FIGURE 
5.62). This will allow you to split the solenoid into two and access the 
spool valve.
Using a pair of needle-nose pliers remove the spool from the front section 
of the solenoid (SEE FIGURE 5.63). Note that it is the flat side of the spool 
valve facing you when you remove the spool valve. It may be necessary 
to also remove the front cap of the solenoid to push the spool out, if it 
cannot be pulled out with the needle nose pliers.
