I used the GoWesty repair kit and it was easy to install.  The
hardest part was getting one of my protruding inserts back into the
plastic pipe.  I used a hair dryer (a heat gun would be better) to
heat  the plastic pipe and then used a small piece of wood and a
hammer to tap the metal insert back into the pipe as far as I could.
I then installed the GoWesty kit and it has worked great for the last
14,000 miles.
