I am trying to rebuild my brake master cylinder in my 76 TR6.  I allready 
got about 25 bucks into it for the rebuild kit.  I can't get the tilt valve 
to unscrew.   I am pushing in the plunger while the master is in a vise.  And 
have about two feet leverage on the allen wrench trying to turn the tilt 
valve.  It wont budge.  I tried hammering on the wrench, tightening it more 
to break it free, swearing at it, etc.  Nothing seems to work.  Anybody have 
any ideas?  I don't want to shell out for a new one.   If I have to go for a 
new one, is the Apple Hydrolics (rebuilt) one for $125 plus shipping the best 
way to go? 
 Thanks,
  Ken,  AZ,  76 TR6
