These steps describe how to disassemble a Toto E-Max Fill Valve. Please note that one helpful commenter suggested that they did not need to remove the fill valve from the toilet before flushing it; you can therefore regard the early instructions on removing the fill valve from the toilet as possibly optional.

-
-
Shut off the stop valve underneath the toilet by turning it clockwise until it becomes hand tight.
-
-
-
Disconnect the fill valve's rubber refill tube from the top of the overflow tube.
-
-
-
Push down the flush lever.
-
Hold the lever down until water stops draining from the tank.
-
-
-
Use a sponge to soak up and remove any remaining water from the toilet tank.
-
Periodically squeeze the excess water from the sponge.
-
-
-
Place a bucket under the supply tube to catch any dripping water.
-
Turn the coupling nut on the supply tube clockwise until it releases from the threaded shank on the bottom of the tank.
-
-
-
Using an adjustable wrench, turn the locknut on the threaded shank counter-clockwise until it becomes loose.

This is our friend the Toto E-Max Fill valve. Unfortunately, she is leaking. Specifically, the shutoff is incomplete, so water continues to flow even after the float is fully lifted.

-
The next step is to remove the green top cap. It's held on by tabs, light flexing should allow you to remove it.
-
-
-
Here is the valve lever[*]. We need to remove it. It's held in by two pegs. Each one is attached to a flexible tang. use a thin blade or screwdriver to push each tang in, while gently lifting the lever.
-
[*} I have no idea if this is the right name.
-
-
-
Here we see one peg released. Note that I'm applying very gentle lifting pressure, not prying it upward.

-
-
Valve lever released! You are a champion. BTW, I made up the name "valve lever". I hope you're not laughing at me.
-
-
-
This is the other end of the valve lever. You should be able to easily release it from the green collar.
-
-
-
Next, gently pop off the green collar that links the valve lever to the threaded float lift shaft.
-
-
-
Gently snap the white float pole out of the jaws of the top cap. When you do this, the float assembly will drop.
-
-
-
Rotate the valve cover an eighth of a turn counter-clockwise to release it.
-
-
-
Yay! We got to the valve seal. Clean it off or replace it, and reverse steps to reassemble.

Thank you! I did not expect to find a guide for a Toto toilet repair on a (mainly) electronics site, but here it is!
It worked perfectly when my toilet started running continuously on a Saturday evening.
I was able to take everything apart without even removing it from the tank, so it was a 15min fix!
Thank you!
