Hi Karel,
I've been pondering how to test the anti-sink sphere and this may work:
Given that the sphere provides a reserve of pressure for the rear brakes with the rear anti-sink valve closed, if the sphere is good, the rear brakes should be able to be applied a few times until it is exhausted.
Raise the rear on axle-stands, start up, set on high, allow full normal pressure to be achieved. Stop the car and wait for the rear anti-sink valve to come into operation as main pressure falls and then see if the rear brakes can be applied. If the rear brakes are able to be applied a few times, the anti-sink sphere must be supplying at least some pressure.
This is all a bit of guesswork but accidentially I think I have made use of this property of the anti-sink sphere when bleeding my rear brakes
As for the disassembly of the anti-sink valve, it must be possible as every other hydraulic component can be dismantled fairly readily with care. The valve is a high-recision component and will need dismantling under clinical conditions.
What does your LHM look like? If it is old and brownish, the valve could be sticking and thus a hydraflush will be highly recommended to clean everything up and maybe free off the valve without needing to dismantle it. It can work wonders for lazy height correctors
