Leaking Ballast Valve

My ballast valve appears to be leaking and it is filling the ballast when I don't want it to. Has anyone replaced this item? Can you just get a new gasket or do you have to replace the entire valve structure?

Probably easier to just replace the whole valve. It must be pretty easy as many have done it.
