Since the repair kit is no longer viable due to the detached check valve, take the old stem to a hardware store, such as Home Depot, to ensure proper compatibility. Purchase a new 8-inch Woodford Brass frost-free hose bib. The video highlights that often the cost difference between a full repair kit (around $30) and a new hose bib (around $45) is minimal.
