[VAC] Drain Valve



The water holding tank valve made of white plastic snapped when I was trying
to drain my water tank.  This valve is located behind the tires on the
passenger side.
An Airstream  Service Center sent a replacement valve and said to just take
the two screws out, pull it out, and reconnect.  I have pulled, pryed and
put excessive force on the valve and it will not come out.  Anymore force
and it would just snap the entire valve off.  Has anybody had any experience
replacing these valves?  I would appreciate any suggestions.

My Wally Byam # is 16281.

I have a '70 27 ft, an '85 32 ft, and a '93 34 ft--this happened on the '85.
