Great video. Sometimes the valve will use an o-ring instead of packing. In that case, the valve will not show a packing nut but only the large hex fitting holding the stem. Remove the large hex fitting, unscrew the stem, replace the o-ring (lubricate it with silicone grease) and reassemble. The real problem comes if the valve is recessed inside the wall. In that case, use a deep socket valve wrench to remove the hex fitting.

I love DYI repair videos that clearly show you what to do and praise you for your time spend making this one. However, when an important step is left out, I feel compelled to add it to the comments section. Why in the world would you take the time to disassemble the valve stem packing assembly, pry out the obviously worn out, leaking packing and then put it back together and WITHOUT REPLACING the packing? This is grossly false economy and any future leakage at the seat will run right back out through the faulty packing into the handle again. Do the job right, do the job once. Do the job wrong, you’ll get to practice it again and again…. Also, while you have the valve stem assembly out you should grab a flashlight and inspect the brass Valve Seat inside the wall that the new washer will press against. Water leaking over time can etch grooves in the seat which will chew up new stem washers in no time and your leak will return. Replaceable valve seats cost a couple of bucks and a cheap ‘Faucet Seat Wrench makes replacing them easy. Non-replaceable valve seats can be conditioned with an inexpensive tool as well. When you are putting everything back together a $1 roll of Teflon tape on threaded surfaces will seal the connection and one roll of tape will last a homeowner a lifetime. ... Set yourself up for success with every repair you do. Valve stem washer, packing and Teflon tape should cost you around $5 to do BOTH hot and cold valves. Valve seats a couple of bucks each if needed. If the valves are back inside of the wall (as most are if tile is installed) and can't be reached with your adjustable wrench then a 'Shower Valve Socket Wrench Assortment' can be purchased at Harbor freight for $11 or at Home Depot or Lowes for $20. If the valve seats are bad the ‘Faucet Seat Wrench’ will set you back around $7. You can also ask your store if they have these tools available for rental or on a ‘Loaner” program. Always take the stems and worn parts to the store with you to assure that you buy the correct maintenance items. Close here doesn't count like in horseshoes. Once the store can identify the make/model of the fixture, many complete replacement valve stem assemblies can be purchased for as little as $8-$18 per side. A little more money, a lot less work and skill needed if you should so desire. If your local home improvement store doesn’t have the correct parts don’t despair. Google for ‘Plumbing Supply Store” near you. Even if they are a wholesale only shop, most of the counter personnel are more than happy to help you out if you’ve done your homework. They are also excellent at identifying the correct replacement parts for you and answering any questions you might have. Lastly, when you reinstall the valve stem assemblies make SURE the hot-water valve (red) is on the left side and the cold-water valve (blue) on the right. Install them backwards and your family will hate you forever or worse, someone could accidentally scald themselves and be injured (yes, it happens). Maintenance workers at apartment buildings are among the worst offenders for this rookie mistake - ask them to come back to your apartment and swap out the valve stem assemblies. Your life will improve immediately. lol I wish each of you the best of success in your DIY repairs!

As far as turning off the water. A plumber told me that when replacing washers on bathtubs be sure to turn your whole water supply off and not just for one side. Because of the way that bathtub pipes are connected you will get some water running out on you if you only turn off one side. I turn my water off from the water control in my yard.

The socket to pull the stem out, Husky #16PL0135 , and behind the stem to remove and install the seat, Husky #17PL0305. New knobs are available too. I see this video does not replace the valve seat. I certainly would! It comes in the kit. Silly not to. Just do it all and get it over with. It's pretty easy. Worst part is old plumbing sometimes hard to get apart.

Marcus Free -- Yes, a ‘Shower Valve Socket Wrench’ (link below) will slide over the valve stem and fit the larger brass fitting much like a socket wrench. You can use the included Tee Handle or your adjustable wrench to loosen or tighten the valve stem nut. The link below also has a video allowing you to visualize how the socket works. Harbor freight has a killer price at only $11 or pay a little more at Lowes, Home Depot or Ace Hardware. While you have the valve stems out you should grab a flashlight and inspect the valve seat inside of the wall. A large leak over time will etch the brass seat and it will chew up a new stem washer in short order. If the valve seat needs replacing you will need a ‘Faucet Seat Wrench’ (link below). Lastly, as long as you have everything out of the wall, do yourself a big favor and REPLACE THE PACKING inside that valve stem and give yourself many, many years of leak-free service! These are NOT affiliate links, but will allow you to visualize the wrenches and how they work before you go to the store.

If I know stem model number is there a way to look up washer and packing info for purchase?

In another video, you install a flat washer for the cold water side, but here you install a dome shape washer for the hot water side. Why? My tub center valve let water come out both the shower and the tub faucet today, so I replaced the seat washer and did not fix the problem. I then had to install another O-ring washer on the other side of the spindle seat washer holder with a white flat rubber O-ring to fix the problem. I still don't understand why such a small gap that is not even visible to the naked eyes can let that much water come out of the tub faucet!

I noticed the squeaking sound went away, do you know how to fix only the squeaking sound?

Nice, very helpful. Would have been nice to see the valve seat replaced too.

How do you get a handle off if you have a stripped screw? My screw is stripped. I've tried an extractor but it didn't work.

I have the same style of faucet. Where should I look at getting the replacement parts from?

I have the same thing happening along with a drip if I replace this and stop the leaking will it also stop the drip?

@jeff nomad Yeah turns out it was just super calcified. Put that back together like lego. Easy!

Thank you. Didn't have packing handy ended up using two "o" rings instead, worked great.

I have been complaining about water pouring out of the faucet handles for years and my landlord has not fixed. Going to do it myself now. Thanks so much for the video.
