- Locate the faulty piece
- Get a replacement or re-ream the valve seating (consider replacing all "soft" parts - rubber gaskets etc.)
- Mount everything in the exact reverse order that you took it apart making sure that any alignment pins or springs, etc. are placed correctly (consider adding waterproof lubricant to any parts that move)
- Turn the mains back on and "bleed the air out of the system at all faucets (there will be bubbles and these will cause rather violent bursts of water from any faucet that has pipe connected which has caught any air (don't be surprised if you get rust and flakes of calcium etc either..
