Not sure what you were referring to about the MagicAire valves, but the way I did it was to first make a sketch of the relationship between the crank (at the top) and the position of the valve (so that I would not put back together backwards). Then get a little hammer and tap the pivot pin out from the bottom of the valve. The pin has a flat part in the middle that holds the valve plate halves in the proper position. Once the pin has been loosened it can be pulled all the way out by hand. Then let the valve fall out of the housing. Then you can drill out the rivets in the plates while it is clamped in a vice.
