There is an upside down U shaped retainer (sometimes with a tab at the top with a hole in it) at the front of the valve stem that has to come from the top. Once the retainer is removed the valve cartridge can be pulled out. You can use the valve handle screwed back in place to use as a grab handle to pull the cartridge out.

All I do with my bite valve is remove it, scrub it with a toothbrush and make sure there's nothing in the actual rubber (or whatever material it is) valve itself. If you're super paranoid, I suppose you could use some diluted bleach on any part of it as long as you wash it thoroughly.Edit: Also, for cleaning inside the bite valve once it's off, I've never had to do more than soapy water and a quick finger swipe with my pinky finger. Might be harder for people with big fingers, just shove something in there that won't poke holes in it with some soap and scrape around, you'll be good to go.

Sorry, I am unable to help. I did mine by cutting with a razor and soaking in hot water to loosen the rubber. Good luck. Let me know if I was of any help.

the metal parts, 2 tubings and round disc, are soldered together and can be separated from the rubber. just insert a flat screw drawer between the rubber and round disc, and slowly separate and slide the metal parts from the black rubber. after washing the metal parts in the dish washer and slide back into the rubber.

Yes, you do remove the valve stem, add the Slime then reinstall. Only issue I had with the product thus far is negligible - my bicycles have presta valves (different than your regular car tire valve). Presta valves can leak if they are clogged with Slime - happened to me, but spun the wheel until the valve was at the top then let some air out and filled with air again. No further issues at all.

At the end of the handle is a clear water reservoir. You slide the clear resorvoir down and off. On the top is a rubber stopper. Pull out the stopper and fill with water. Replace rubber stopper and slide back onto the handle.

The rubber seal can be removed. I use the tip of a paring knife and carefully lift the seal and then pull it out by hand. Wash the rubber seal, wash the lid, when dry replace the seal. It works.

If my filter is extremely hard to take apart, I use a rubber mallet and tap the housing that screws on in a counter clockwise direction and it starts to unscrew. When repacing the filter use silicone grease to lubricate the O-rings.

The handle/Motor just wipe off with a little soap and water then down the Frother part. Rinse off the Frother with a quick spin under clean water.

I believe that you are referring to the metal screw that holds the device to the hose bib. It just secures the backflow in place. As for cleaning, you will need to remove the entire thing to clean it well. It's easy to get off and you should have to do it often.

We normally rinse it after each use. To clean more thoroughly we use a vacuum bottle brush we bought from an ACE Hardware store. This is just a long handled round brush. We also regularly rinse the lid; note the lid can easily be partially disassembled so you can thoroughly wash the inside areas of the lid with soap and water. On the lid, under the handle of the valve for pouring, you can see a little round tab sticking out that might seem to serve no purpose. Push firmly up on that tab (not on the valve handle) and the round cap on the top or the lid, kind of like the lid of a big pop-top pill bottle. When you are done, just line the top with the bottom and snap them back together. We normally rinse it after each use.
