I'd interpreted that you'd replaced the actuator, not dismantled the valve itself.
Kevin is referring to fixing a failure within the valve body (on mine, it's generally the seal around the spindle leaking).
AIUI, on Honeywell valves you can buy the spindle/seal/paddles and dismantle the valve body and replace (whilst leaving the 3 compression fittings undisturbed).
I managed to do this on a Sunvic valve by cannibalising the parts from a complete new valve (which was important, as the compression fittings on mine are nipped-up tighter than a tight thing after several previous interventions over the years, and wouldn't, I think, stand another replacement, and soldering new fittings would be a bit of a challenge after previous "professional" plumber intervention).
