Zodiac inflatable valve replacement

Hi Sealiners.

I have a small duck, but the valves are sissing air out of them and needs replacement. Has any of you replaced these before.

I can see there is a tool of some sort to remove the valve, which i do not have. I am planing on replacing it with different New valves. So here's my actual questions and concern.

If I remove the old valve by cutting it... and the new valve is slightly bigger in diameter, can i just cut the hole in the pvc slightly bigger with a scissor?

What is the correct way of removing the old valve without the correct tool? Looks like there is about 2 parts that might thread into each other. Outer one a right hand thread and the inner one left hand thread?

Otherwise I'm just Going to cut the old ones out and hope for the best...


;)
