VerifiedThank you for asking your question sorry to hear you're having troubles with your machine. As far as replacing the springs, seals , and plungers for your joystick control valve, you will remove the joystick handle and loosen the lock nut to remove the handle and contact plate. You can then disassemble the control valve for inspection, cleaning, as well as spring and O-ring replacement. when you reinstall the contact plate, adjusted so it just barely has a slight amount of play and is not putting any pressure on any of the plungers. It is a pleasure to help anyway I can .
