Did you try disconnecting the cable? Cable might be siezed

Its on the bench right now.

It moves but with extreme force

I don't know what people are doing for replacements for these.
You could try PB Blaster on the outside to loosen it up.
I think muratic acid on the inside is supposed to dissolve scale.
I think our valves are different than FJ40 heater control valves.

I'm going to try CLR. Worst case scenario the plasitic seal on the top disintegrates.

The hunt for a replacement will still continue

 

[gofast]

Still need this,

Cheers
