Don, I tried a bunch of things but the only thing that worked was buying the
hex wrench. Even then, it took quite a bit of force to free up the nut. I
suspect that the steel threads start to rust due to hygroscopic action of the
brake fluid.

I'm having trouble removing the hex nut which holds in the tipping valve

Nelson doesn't mention anything special about removing it at

I don't have the 1/2" allen wrench, so I'm using a pipe wrench and a hex
bolt as Nelson described. Just don't budge. I've soaked it in PC
blaster, but no go. Maybe I just need to get the big allen wrench and
lean on it???
