Does anyone know how to replace the Brine valve and piston for the 8500 ECONOMINDER?

I have found some good info but not for my model.

The latest iteration of that platform is the Twinflo 100e.
Service & other info is here:-

From my experience, most econominder 8500's are not salvageable at repair time, since the backplane tends to warp over time.
