Trust me, when you get in there, you will be surprised at just how easy this is. the only thing you have to be cautious of , is to make sure and get then turned the same way that the old ones were. no big deal at all. best of luck to you !

Tony thank you
Yep it felt live the valves and when I tore it apart, there was one valve in each head broke off. Harbor Freight still stocks the parts, so the replacements are on order. So hopefully in a week I will have the thing back together and functioning again.
Thanks again for the tips
