The snap ring is actually in the motor mount not the trim unit. You will need a pair of internal snap ring pliers. Once you get the snap ring out the valve will just screw out. A new o-ring could probably be found locally.
Okay, found the problem. Somehow the retaining ring (snap ring) got caught under the valve. It was sort of twisted and not allowing the valve to close down properly. I managed to get it out with a set of tiny needle nose pliers, but it scored the valve and the O ring is now pretty knarled up. I hope that just replacing the O-ring will take care of it. I'll try that first I guess.
