Thanks for the comments! I wasn't sure about the need to remove the seat until after I had it all apart and saw the internal parts. You're right, though, compressed air could do the trick.

It's very well written as a guide. Would like to see the restoration part.
Are you planning on removing the bracket to replate it?
I'll figure out what to do with the bracket once I have it all cleaned up. The plating I can see under the grime looks pretty decent, but it will probably have to be re-done to have something that's worth putting on a restored car.

I reall would like to see a re-build kit made that contains the o-ring seals and all other seals needed. When putting the valve together again, do you use any type of sealent on the top and bottom ?
Sealants aren't needed to put the parts back together. With new o-rings and good brake line fittings there shouldn't be any leaks.
I'll look into the cost to come up with a seal kit. I'm not yet sure if it makes sense to include the springs - if they're not rusted they can probably just be cleaned and re-used. Even though repros are available I'm sure there are people who want to rebuild these parts to preserve the date codes.
