No need to turn off the water.
There are a half dozen different shaft styles,
so you'll need to match. A hardware store may be best bet.
Uh... how do you work on a valve under pressure?

By taking the screw out that holds the handle to the shaft, removing
the handle, and replacing it. Nothing that requires turning off the
water.
