I bought a new valve which doesn't seem to have helped a lot. I am just curious: (1) can I use a rubber seating ring? Were these ever designed for an o-ring (EJ-EH & HD-HR workshop manuals go into little detail on the valve... or.. (2) Is ther a tool that will reseat the facing inside (shavings??) ...or (3) (Assuming there is a brake fluid resistant type), would plumbers tape be a safe method to seal? Sorry, really cannot find much info on this wee item!  Thanks, Paul.
