Power valves issues pict included

[striker7284bass]

Hello,

I took my power valves out today for the first time. All three werent connected to the cables and two of the valves were tough to get out of the block. I attached a picture of the end of the valves where the cable would go through are these repairable or have to be replaced? Thank you.

get in touch with YAMAHEAD (Rich) on here..PM him.He cuts the ends off and machines new ends from a SS bolts.That will never happen again.Way cheaper then buying new valves at $120 each from a dealer..He did 7 of my valves ..that never happens again..

X2 what blue said. He cuts off the exhisting stem and replaces it with stainless. Last I new $21 per valve. With $1 per being donated to the site. Hell of a great guy that does great work.

Mine were as bad as yours... Rich had them back to me and ready to go a week after I sent them. Great service and very affordable.
