I agree with previous comments, if you go to ACE hardware they should be able to get you BOTH the shaft seal and the valve seat seal, then you need to turn off the house water (typically in the garage), and bleed off the pressure by opening the hose faucet. Once the water stops running, remove the valve shaft assembly, replace the 2 seals and reinstall the valve shaft assembly and you should be good to go.
