I use the PT as well. If yours is getting clogged, and flow control is not an issue, can’t you just remove the the spiral and use the tap without it? IF that is what is getting clogged, it can’t clog if it ain’t there!
I want to say I've taken the spiral out and it was still clogged but I would have to verify.
 
From our experience the most common area to get blocked up is the keg post poppet.

With that said if you need to take apart the flow control ball lock disconnect then you can do this with a phillips head screw driver to remove the top and then the whole thing comes undone fairly easily. With that said I dont think that doing this is required. The only cleaning I do with the Flow Control ball lock disconnect is to soak the whole thing in soapy water from time to time and then re-lubricate it with a tiny bit of lube. Dried up beer tends to glue up the quick disconnect ring that lifts up. If you also run sanitiser through the unit from time to time this is a good idea too but beyond that disassembly is rarely necessary.
