This thing will last for many years.

Yes to this.
Although I use a quarter turn faucet on most, absolutely hate the dial - which is esp. bad for arthritis. (although admittedly still have two dials)
One thing for sure, get rid of the dial type handle. This job with parts in hand, might take 20 minutes; so even if you feel uncomfy, a handman repair or plumber would only be a one hour rate and may be better than the hassle if you are unsure.
In addition (IMPORTANT):
GET a FROST FREE BIB. Thata way you just have to turn the facuet off but never have to cover and winterize.
