drain valve
I've been noticing that my drain valve has a slight leak to it and i plan on buying a new valve with the o-rings and was just curious if anyone put a new valve in there and how easy was it to do.
Thanks Bobby

pretty straight forward fix, but man those 4 hex screws can be a pain to get out. took me longer then 15 mins to fix the whole thing thats for sure. more like and hour and half unless your hands are the size of a 6 year olds.

I'd do just the o ring first. If that don't fix it then the valve. Clean the valve good before reinstalling. Mine had some yellow stuff that looked about like paint but may have been some type of dry grease, was easy to clean.
