You're Done! Now Just Fill The Tank.

All that's left is to turn the water supply back on, let the tank fill up and check the flush operation. If you need to adjust the chain length to achieve proper operation do it now. Once the flapper ball lifts up and the fill cup tilts back to fill with water, the valve is operating properly.

You're done! This problem won't bother you again for a while and you just saved over $100 in repair bills.
