My husband passed away close to four years ago and I don't know what I would do without these helpful KZbin videos! I was able to fix my bathroom sink using this video which saved me a lot of money for something easily fixable. Don't know how I would continue repairing my house wo KZbin videos so thank you again for the easy answers.

THANK YOU! I watched a whole bunch of these videos, and none of them helped me. My biggest problem was that the clip kept falling off. (Very frustrating--especially since there's not a lot of room there for me to work, and the positions I had to get into were awkward and uncomfortable with my hip and knee replacements.) You are the ONLY one who explained what to do; the others all said "Put the clip back on." You showed me exactly how to put it on and how to make it tight. A 74-year-old woman, I am thrilled that I could fix this by myself!

Hi Scott, our bathroom sink stopper lift rod has been loose for YEARS. The horizontal rod was not connected to the strap, and the lift rod would pull completely up and out of the faucet base. Your video showed me how to fix everything! A big bonus from doing this repair: The top of our lift rod is square, not round, so when the lift rod got loose, the little square would never stay lined up parallel with the wall (which drove me nuts). I made sure I got the square lined up perfectly when I tightened the bolt holding the lift rod, and now it's all good! And now I know the names of all the little parts under the sink! Thanks so much. Your video was by far the best one I found out of the four that I watched.

A well-thought-out, clearly explained tutorial. Just what I needed. After putting off the repair for a couple of months (!!!), it took me about 15 minutes to disassemble, clean, and reassemble the stopper assembly (the pivot rod had come loose). Now I'm actually looking forward to maintenance of our other bathroom sink! Thanks very much.

I was going to call a plumber cause the pop up stopper drain rod that goes thru the the pipe had rusted and broken off the sink stopper that made it go up and down. I bought a $7.00 pop up assembly and use the one piece I needed. Your voice and patience really helped. Thank you so much.

No one has addressed this issue- until the end of your video when you mentioned bending the clip out for better tension! OMG! Simple fix. THANK YOU! Now I can quit crying.

Like the other commenters said, this is the best video I've seen on this fix. The only tip I want to add is that you can turn the stopper 90 degrees and it should still go up and down. The reason for doing this is so you can remove the stopper to clean hair and soap from it. Still, you explained everything so clear!

Did it myself after my teenager pushed the drains down instead of using the arm and got them stuck in the down position. Lifesaver! And helping me show my boys that there’s so many things you can do yourself around the house instead of paying someone else to do it when it is easy and simple! Thanks again!

First, best video ever! My builder had the strap bent in every direction imaginable. He also had it facing in the wrong direction. There was also nooo plastic seal washer whatsoever, even though there was with the kit I purchased. The builder's strap and clip seemed sturdier though, so after failed attempts with the new kit I purchased, I tried to get his parts to work. Because of all the bends in the strap and a different type of 2-holed pinch clip (arrow-shaped), I could not manage to pass the pivot rod through the clip. The bends in the strap were the problem, but it was a thick strap, and I'm a woman. Paid a plumber $125 to basically unbend the strap and slide the arrow clip on. First try, the pivot rod was working, only he had to press on the stopper some for the sink to hold water. He told me sometimes you just have to do that? I was just happy that if I just pulled the rod tight enough it worked. He also didn't add any seal washer. Consequently I'll never hire him again as I foresee a leak in the future.

Geez My Dad used to fix everything in the house now it's my turn because his forgotten everything he use to do. So he ask me now I just look everything up and fix it real quick and his happy as a camper. The funny thing is I have Dyslexia so its hard for me to read a book because the words and letter get rearranged while I'm reading it. Which is messed up. But If I slow everything down I can do it but i get tired and sleeping going slow, so its a lose lose situation LOL Even if I stop to talk to someone while sitting down I get sleepy and tired and sometimes I just drift off to sleep, I don't think it's insulting It just happens!

Thanks! Just watched your video and figured out my problem. The pull rod was stuck in the highest position, meaning the drain was in the lowest, and wouldn't budge. I untightened the screw, gave the pull rod slack, and retightened. Works perfectly now.

Thank you, Scott! This video saved the day. My failure mode was the corroded pivot rod. SO glad you emphasized how important it is to find/clean/save/properly seat that little seal. No way I would have gotten that right otherwise.

Thank you very much for your tutorial sir. I recently moved into an apartment complex and reported a sink clog and they cleaned out the p-trap and used some sealant putty to the p-trap connector. It was still clogged so I watched your tutorial and cleaned out the stopper but the p-trap connector is tight as heck and I didn't mess with it cause it just wouldn't turn because of the putty they used lol. But I got it to unclog thanks to you, again thank you sir. Have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas

Great job explaining how it works and made it easy. It's not that complicated but something easy to forget when you don't do it very often. I appreciate it.

excellent, thanks! I got what I needed to know and learned two things I didn't know. Great footage of the view into the pipe with the bottom of the stopper showing, that's something we normally wouldn't see.

Thank you, this helped me fix my pull rod and drain stopper which had come out of the sink. Thankful for the tutorial and clear explanation of each part because I don’t know about hardware, tools, etc. After watching your video it now is fixed!

This vides saved me! I unclogged my bathroom sink and couldn't for the life off me figure out why the stopper wouldn't work when I replaced everything. The lever position was exactly the problem! Thank you for sharing this!

I did everything just to end up finding out that the first thing you said to do was EXACTLY what the problem was.But in the process I ended up cleaning out the sink and finding out the stopper wasn’t put in correctly from the jump.And I figured that out because once I put it back in the way you said to and everything was all back together,I noticed the stopper raised much higher than it’s ever been..Thanks A lot

Great video! Finally decided to fix my sink stopper after a year, and all I had to do was slide the clip back a little bit - took 30 seconds - never thought it would be that easy!

Thank you sooo much. My stopper lift has been broken forever but recently I lost the rubber stopper I was using so I dropped the original brass stopper in & of course it got stuck... so while I had everything apart to push it up manually, I decided to fix it. I knew basically how it worked but I didn't really know what the parts looked like because I had disconnected it at some point & lost parts. So your video was a great find for me. I really appreciate that you took the time to show how everything worked with the other assembly, which Nobody ever does. Usually they just point to the installed unit and expect us to see through the pipe or something. I have some leaks to fix at my daughter's house so I subscribed & will be checking out your other videos for help soon. Thanks again! MB King
