Replaced the Tub Bearing Kit and the Mounting Stem Repair Kit - although slightly difficult, there were many YouTube videos that walked me through the process step by step in a clear concise manner. The entire repair took approx. 3 hours. The repair worked perfectly. An important tool you'll need is a spanner wrench. 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours
