Default is the HKS SSQV BOV serviceable?

I broke off the brass vacuum tube and I need to replace it. Can this be done?

Default Probably.. Can you take it all apart?

i dont remember exactly if i came apart on that side, but im sure they can be taken apart.. When i replaced my fin with the "lower pitched" fin, i basically take the other half all apart to do so.. How did you break it off anyhoo?

Default hmm, i hope so because it's welded to the flange...

so I'd have to see if i could break the weld if i need a new valve. I doubt that can happen though.

The stem was actually bent a little so I was trying to bend it back when it came off in my hand. How retarded, I know. I guess it's a sign saying I'm too ****. The worst part is it broke at the base...if just a little piece broke off at least I'd still be able to hook up the vacuum hose.
