In my quest to get at the rust left behind from the mouse nest, I disconnected the cable for the heater control valve only to find the cable was not seized as I originally believed. I removed the valve body and after cleaning and picking out nest pieces was able to get it to acuate about 1/4 on and inch. I'm assuming the acuator should move the entire length of the angled slot. Is this correct? Can it be taken apart, or should I just plan on replacing if it doesn't free up?
