I bought this Bailey's Chief 3 spool valve several years for my 3 remote rears. I based my build on LD1's build, so used a lot of the same parts. Link to valve: CHIEF G Series: 1 GPM, SAE 1 Inlet/Outlet, 3 Spool, 3625 PSI, 15-3625 PSI Relief Setting, SAE 8 Work Ports, 22959

As some of you may remember, I took the tractor to a local farm store to have the hoses installed and all the connections made. They mis-connected this valve; essentially by blocking or plugging the "Tank" port and not connecting it correctly to the tank. With LD1 et al help, I got it fixed. But now, whenever I use the tractor and it gets hot, the valve leaks pretty heavily.
Anyone have a detailed diagram of this valve? Any paperwork I got from Baileys went to the Farm store and they are out of business now (there's a surprise). How hard would it be for me to disassemble this valve to replace o-rings etc?
It does not appear to be leaking from the connections near as I can tell. It appears to be leaking from the protrusions where the handles are located. See pic above. I've tightened all the bolts as far as I can comfortably, hoping to not strip or break the bolts.
Any help and/or advice is appreciated!
