There’s a video for this! You’ll have to make a larger hole in the tile to work on/replace the valve, but they make large cover plates to cover the hole. OR if you can get access behind, they make access panel covers to easily cover the drywall hole and allow for future repair access.

thank you for video and encouragement. i installed new seat, stem. in turned the stem in by hand. i then tighten the nut by hand, then tighten the packing nut to turn the stem in a bit tighter.but i had to tighten a bit more because water would drip downward off stem behind the tile stem. so i tightened it slowly until the drip stopped. but then it made the handle that turns off water uncomfortably tight, not as easy as with the old stems. i am stuck. tighten the nut so no drip, but a little bit more then the handle is uncomfortably tight. Help?
