How difficult is it to get an old one off in order to put this one on? Any helpful tips?

It was not difficult to remove the old valve. The new valve is exactly the same size, it fit perfectly. If you have NEVER done any "do it yourself" type plumbing work try to get some who has had done "some" plumbing work. You do not need a plumber, just some one who does work with his hands.

ive taken mine off with no problems... up to you but just pull a little harder.. or use something thin like a metal nail file and slide it underneath

It is easly, just take the old one off by pulling the edge of pad over padle. Replace it with the new one, no tools needed

You have to pop it off its kind of hard. Don't worry about breaking anything it'll come off!

When I replaced mine it was kinda of difficult. There are several screws that have to be removed and then a confession pin that has to be taken out. I reused the pin from the unit it fit tighter when installing the new part and gear. I watched a video on YouTube that made the whole process a lot smoother. Not difficult just time consuming.

Yes remove the plastic one first by peeling it off starting at a corner. It should peel off very easily. Then follow the screen cleaning/preparation and installation instructions that come with the new screen protector. If you have any more ?'s I will be happy to help as much as I can.

Super easy. Twist off old one. Wrap plumbers tape around threads and twist it on.

yes, it is extremely easy to take off. Just peel it off. Once you peel off however, you cannot put that same one back on.Regards,

Yes it was a PIA to get the old out and new one in. If I remember correctly I had to remove the black trim piece around it to get inside and pull out. They give you no help with instructions.

Just pull and it will comes out. May be your didn't changed for a longtime so it might be glued in. Pull hard.

I used some pliers. They are very tight. I had to tare off a chunk of it and keep pulling on it until it finally came off. Good luck.

if you have the new metal replacement part, you can disconnect the old plastic one by simply unthreading it completely off. Mine was broken off, but you should be able to get it off easily

I had the very same problem. I had to hire a repair man to get it off. So it can be done but I could not do it myself.

I received one with the speaker mesh and one without, so it's a toss-up? The old one is very easy to remove and replace on the new display. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to lift the gray/black tape that holds the screen in. You can remove both gently. Apply them to the new screen. The outer glass is definitely included. Replacing these screens alone (no outer glass) is impossible because the screen is glued very hard to the glass. Separating the two is impossible. The glass I received seems to be the same thickness as the original glass, but I wouldn't test to see if it holds up to stresses as well :-) I received one with the speaker mesh and one without, so it's a toss-up?

It simply snaps into place. Look carefully how the old one is set up make sure everything is lined up and snap it into place. Its truly easier than it sounds....

There is no way to know without you first removing the old one. There are different styles and lengths offered. This one here is a very popular one but not the only one made. It would be best to see what you have first and the only way to do so is to remove your old one.

I've never tried to remove it, but it is stuck on there pretty good. Sorry I'm not much help.
