Certain subjects are really hot button issues.
People assume that just because something is beyond their abilities, that nobody is capable of it... Fact is we all have differing skill sets in life. The trick is to know just what yours are, and not underestimate or overestimate them.

Not recommended at all. Replace the valve.
