The cockpit shower head on my 228 is sticky when I depress the button for water. I tried to take it apart to maybe clean it out internally or spread the spring out but I can not figure out hot to open the head up? Any Ideas??

One trick for cleaning home shower heads that have mineral buildup is to pour some vinegar in a zip lock bag, slip the bag over the head and tie it on or tape it on the feed pipe with the bag hanging down. That lets the head soak in the solution without having to remove it. I suppose the same approach might work for your shower. I would try a detergent solution first and if that doesn't work, try the vinegar. You can probably work the button through the bag. Since it will be in solution that might free it up.
