Default HVAC vacuum control question

I have my console apart for some repairs, and was wondering how to clean or rebuild the vacuum control (the one with 7 vac ports).
Is it actually serviceable? The vacuum hoses and the rubber mounting section look great, but I do notice a slight vacuum leak when running, and I am assuming it is from the valve itself.

As always....any suggestions are greatly appreciated :cheers:

The parts houses have them. At least they had the one for mine at The Last Detail for $12.

That's one of Chey's "better" ideas :rolleyes: that didn't work too well. They are a PIA at best.
