So my black tank valve doesn't completely close. I can't get the retaining clips to snap over the handle. I'd say its less than 1/4" open, although it doesn't seem to leak. I'm thinking there is some crud built-up in the end slot where the blade closure fits in.

Is it possible to remove the valve's shut-off blade out of the side of the valve so I can get a stiff wire in there to clean it? I'm hoping I don't have to pull it all apart to get to it. Rolling Eyes
