I know....I was thinking about just replacing the whole thing. I talked to my wife and told her I was just going to buy a new one. She was ok with that but I needed to learn about that thing. I have been dreading it forever. I think the trick to it is to remove the toilet. In our rig we have quite a bit of room to remove it. Once removed, you have access to all parts. I just saw a video a lady posted about her replacing the gate ball ring. She did the same thing as I did...but I rebuilt all the parts since I had the thing apart. Putting the plumbers grease on makes things very smooth too.
