I called a plumber for this the first time. It was dumb simple. He literally just took pliers, twisted off the valve stem and replaced it. $250. I could of done it for $30 and a trip to the store. Valve stems do look intimidating if you’ve never messed with them before. After you do it, it’s simple.

If replacing the valve stems, you can use pliers, channel locks, vise grips, etc. to remove them, but I'm betting dollars to donuts he used the valve stem socket type tool to put the new stems in so he didn't bung up the end the faucet handle secured to.
Yes, vey easy job to do with the right tools and just a bit of knowledge. Hell, there's probably hundreds of u-tube videos on how to replace faucet stems.
