I replaced both the black and gray valves. No problem. Unscrew screws take out and insert new ones.
I think it took me less than an hour and that included bleaching the heck and flushing out the black tank. I just didn't want to deal with ANY type of sewage or smell while I was working on it! :W
Pick up the valve at any camping store or rv dealership parts store.
There was a time that there were 2 types. Bristol and Valterra. So be sure you pick up the correct one for your RV.
Also on mine there was a very small arrow molded on the valve itself. It is meant to tell you what direction the water flows so you put the valve in correctly. I didn't see that at first so that less than an hour installation 'included' putting one in and out twice so the arrow was pointing in the right direction! :B
