Mark & Bill,
Thanks for the replies. I had thought that the diaphragm was trapped by the top of the valve being crimped into place. Looking more carefully I see there is one pop rivet, that when removed allows the top of the top of the valve to rotate, so that the top and bottom can be separated. I have taken my old valve apart, it was tough, I am not sure if I could do this in-situ, but hopefully, with a valve that is less than 50 years old I will do better. Now I need a new valve.
