I watched a few of these and yours was the best overall. You included all of the points that always catch my eye, such as blocking the drain first and not potentially eating the chrome with channel locks. You also gave folks adequate views of what they would see when they open their own faucets up.

Thanks for this video! Lots of videos like this since you originally uploaded it, but this is the best in my opinion. I wasn't able to get my cap off using my adjustable wrench (had to go out and buy a new one because it requires an oversized wrench). Keeps slipping off. Tried CLR/vinegar, and even heating the cap a bit with a blow torch around the edge to expand the metal, being careful not to melt the plastic cam. I think there's too much corrosion on the cap. Any other ideas?
@FIXITHomeImprovementChannel6 ай бұрын
Hi, you could try a penetrating oil. Wrap a cloth or paper towels below the cap and spray around the joint. Let it set for 30 minutes. Hopefully the oil can get to the threads.

Not all facets have a pin. mine did not. Nor did it have flats on the cap for a wrench. There are now scratches because it was corroded on. But thanks for the tips. If all goes well it is a simple fix. Note the rubber washers come in 2 depth sizes. I was glad I brought mine in to the store. One is 1/8 inch thicker but maybe both will work?

It appears my set screw is either stripped or corroded. I can't seem to remove it with my allen wrench. What do you recommend is the best way to remove it? Also I am afraid the bonnet nut might be hard to remove after i get the handle off due to calcium and rust buildup. What are some tips to remove the bonnet nut?

Hi I would start by spraying the screw with a penetrating oil, then give it a try. You would then try using a screw extractor that matches the size of the hex opening.

@tinamcnalley25753 жыл бұрын
Patricia, someone else may come along with more info, but my personal experience is don't replace your faucet until you can afford a name brand, Delta, Moen, Peerless if at all possible. Off brand faucets seem rather troublesome to me and not worth the upfront savings. FWIW. I'm "financially challenged" and always looking for a bargain. Cheap faucets haven't been a bargain for me.
