Paused your video numerous times along the way. Encountered years of white corrosion after I removed nut. Installed new cartridge & that red thing. Tried not to over tighten when I reassembled. Works great. Thank you.
Just want to say thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. Got the slow drip fixed and a huge boost to my self esteem. Thanks once again!
How can I figure out whether the bathtub faucets are washerless or not without turning the water main off?
Would this be the same repair on a washerless Price Pfister bathroom faucet? Thank you
Thanks. Helped a lot. Here's a hint on how to remove the old washer and spring which may have been in there a long time and is stuck. Get the tool used for opening paint cans. They'll give one free at the paint stores. Works great. Bought the replacement washers and springs at the hardware store for $2.19. Beats paying a plumber 150 dollars an hour. Also, it's important to know that these types of faucets reverse the direction that the handle is turned when one reinserts the post at 180 degrees from where it was. Round faucet handles generally turn like any faucet, left to open, right to close. However, the wing type faucet handle has the right faucet (cold) reversed.
Thanks for an excellent video. Brief, informative, adequate detail. Suggestion: in future videos perhaps include mention of where to get the parts, what to ask for, and even an Amazon link to buy the part(s).
Always put plumbers grease on the new washer before putting it in the faucet
Saved a call to a plumber and surprised my husband! Yay š
I live in an apartment. Do I have to shut the water off when doing bathroom taps
Thanks for the video ! Really helped !
What would happen if you over tighten the lock cap that holds the cartridge in place?
My sink is exactly like yours, I took both stems out but I did not see no rubber seat with spring on either side only o-ring on bottom. My leak would come from the hot water handle side when opening the cold water handle, weird. Still leaks have to check kit at store, It seems everytime I go to find replacement parts for the particular piece I'm looking for it never seems to be easy if at all to find ever.
What exactly is wrong with yours? Did it leak? What did you try to fix? Because mine is leaking and Iām just wondering if this will fix my leak
Beautiful. You just saved me replacing the whole faucet, like they tried to get me to do at Lowe's. I knew there was a way to fix these things!
I have watched 6 of these videos and still haven't found the one like mine. There is no rubber grommet, there is no screw in the top of the handle to take out that lets the casing lift off. It will not turn counterclockwise either!
thx

Moen makes an excellent washerless faucet that have been around for many years.
Thanks for commenting and best of luck with the repair! Al @JOE FORD DIY @steven lavimoniere
#Michael Raleigh you're video's are such a good resource of information. I appreciate you posting them š @TheOldkid888
If this doesn't work, you then need to replace the cartridge, correct? I found Delta seats & springs kit for $1.50 in the hardware store.
Thank you very much
I had gotten down to the screw and thought…I don't want to take that off, and thanks to you I can go further and fix it….
