Removing the vacuum spring from the petcock.
Do you have to twist the gasket piece off or do you just pull it of?

Yup came apart a lot simpler than I thought it would. I stretched the spring and put a thin coat of petroleum jelly on all the gaskets now my petcock does not leak. Thanks for the help.
