OK here's one for you.
Seems that my Quickie Flush has stopped working i.e. apparently the back-flow preventer is now preventing water from being sprayed into the black water tank. Anybody got any ideas on how I might fix this? I was able to move the back-flow ball with a probe, but still it will not let water past it. If I replace it can I take the broken one off and install a new one in the same place? I'm sure that there's some kinda of glue that was used when it was installed. I just don't want to bust a hole in the tank and have a bigger job and expense.
Thanks in advance for assistance.

I drilled the hole and installed mine with silicone caulking and 3 screws. I would think that removing the 3 screws and pulling the quickie flush would remove it from hole. Then clean up the silicone caulking and install new one using the same hole with lots of silicone.
was an easy install, should be about as easy to uninstall. BUT you will need to make sure you are as clean as you can get inside the tank and if you do not reinstall quickie you will have to recover the hole with something..

Wow, first time I've heard of that. It's held on by 3 (if I remember correctly) self-tapping screws and the flange is sealed to the tank with silicon. After removing the screws, use a hair-dryer to soften the silicon and you should be able to pry the old one out. You might try to work some fishing line under the flange (a couple pieces of dowel for handles), to cut through the silicon, before trying to pry it up with a screwdriver.
good luck!
