Anyone know how to disassemble/service the new Apeks low profile dump valves?

It doesn't just unscrew? Although I'm guessing you've already tried that.

Or snaps off?
 
It seems like the valve has a c-shaped "circular clip" that holds the valve in place, however I am not 100% confident in trying to remove this clip.
 
Thanks Tammy, I will try this an give feedback once I get back home. I assume you have done this previously, or know someone that owns a new generation Apeks wing?

Indeed the dump screws out like any other dump, I feel kinda silly right now. The valve is just very thin, seriously thin. They need to be screwed back very tight or it will have have a slow leak under some pressure.
