replacing parts that were beginning to rust from outdoor exposure.
I had no problem. My husband is an engineer, so the repairs went well. The only problem I did have was that one of the parts did not arrive. come to find out that it was on backorder and arrived a day or two after I called. The person I spoke with when I inquired was most helpful and expeditious. All in all, my experience was excellent.

too the switch out and put in new one replaced the front and screwed back together. really easy
