I have put kits in two different hydrants, a Woodford Iowa hydrant and a Merrill Anyflow. I continued to lose water through the line to the Woodford, so apparently my leak isn't in the hydrant itself. (Digging up the line is on my to-do list.) The Merrill had a leaky packing, but after I replaced the packing the hydrant wouldn't shut off because the plunger got twisted to a different position. Putting a kit in the Merrill fixed it.
The biggest challenge to working on either of the hydrants was getting the head off. You need REALLY big wrenches; a large pipe wrench and a large Crescent, plus two six foot lengths of pipe for cheater bars. Once you get the head loose it's a piece of cake.
Make sure you have the RIGHT kit for your hydrant model before you start; they're all different, even different models by the same manufacturer.
