Replacing Kohler canister flush valve

[ghopebham]

Our Kohler Cimaron toilet has a canister flush valve and the stem for the bowl refill tube has snapped off. Due to a back injury, I can't lift the tank off to replace the entire flush valve assembly. Can the stem that the bowl refill tube connects onto be replaced without removing the entire tank? A photo showing the snapped off stem (and my attempt to repair it with adhesive) is attached.
Many thanks!

The entire cannister can be easily be removed from above.
Once you have purchased the cannister, it will be self-evident, to just quarter turn rotate to swap out.
Likely Youtube videos also.

Usually the canister is fine. You can just replace the post. Change the red canister seal at the bottom while you’re at it.
