Those of you out there with experience with a Besson 981: how does one remove the slide _behind_ the third valve? It looks like it is part of the compensating system. When I remove the slide to empty out water, I press down the third valve, but there is a slight pop. I press down the fourth valve, but, again, there is still a slight pop. This leads me to believe that I should really press both third and fourth valves, but darned if I can see how to do it. If I use one hand on one valve and the other on the other, that leaves no hands to pull the slide. Suggestions? (Keep it clean, please!)
