I just serviced all of the Spartan Seacocks on my boat, before I started only 3 of my 10 worked, now they all unfrozen and work as they should.
?
I used the Spartan service kit, which I bought here: ?

I then followed the instructions that Stephanie posted, really glad I had those. ?For the Seacocks that were frozen, I chose to lightly tap on the handle with a small hammer, and that freed all of them. ?I was very careful, as I knew not to "beat" on them. ?Turns out all of mine were in great shape, and I only had to lap 2 of them. ?The rest I was able to simply clean up with a solvent degreaser, re-grease and then reassemble. ?
?
In total it took an afternoon to do all of them, but really glad I did.
