I have the exact same faucet and it's leaking on the hot water side. Great video!

[@ItsFixable]

Thanks for watching!

[@user-dp3pp4uz6i]

Thank you! Great video on something we can all do, but forget because of the timeframe of not doing it all the time. I wasn't aware of the red washer for the hot. Funny my hot side washer always fails....Now I know, thanks to you....

Drips don't show up on are most sensitive meters. I work for the water company. A 1000 gallons is 10 bucks. Streams may not show up on the red sensitive meter. But yeah a dripping faucet is nerve wracking. Newer stems don't have replaceable washers. So finding new stems can be difficult. Replacing the whole faucet is a pain due to lack of room.

Thank u

Hi. I can't budge the stem to loosen it. I'm afraid i may strip it. Pretty sure its a Gerber stem on the utility tub. Can I hit it with some heat, not too much, to work it loose. I WD-40 and Liquid wrenched the heck out of it. No noticeable corrosion. Just real tight. Thanks for this video.

[@ItsFixable]

Heating may work. I have successfully done so with other stuck nuts, alternating with WD40 quenching, but I've never done it on a faucet. There my be plastic washers on some of those seals, so be careful!

[@apatterson8128]

@@ItsFixable Thanks for your prompt response. I planned on replacing the whole stem and probably seat. I'll have to be careful not to melt the sink! lol Thank you again for your help.

[@apatterson8128]

@@ItsFixable Two bouts of heat and twisting with a vise grips got it off. I think the seat looks ok. I don’t want to press my luck. Lol Thank you for your help.

I tried fixing my leaky faucet by following along with your video but all procedures fell apart when I realized I didn’t have an old tin can that used to hold Christmas cookies. I went to ACE to see if they had one and they said they didn’t. Now I’m stuck. :-(

[@ItsFixable]

You young kids don't know what tin is, do you?! ;-)

[@mbgrocott7115]

@@ItsFixable yep, I’m old enough to know.

[@roblindsay7017]

No grease or tape on the threads?

[@ItsFixable]

No sealant. The O rings seal the stem in it's collar, and the flat washer seals the whole collar to the faucet body.

[@toowace01]

What make is your faucet?

[@ItsFixable]

It's in the video description.

[@jackhopwood6855]

Very helpful bu it drives me crazy when someone uses an adjustable/ crescent wrench in the wrong orientation. Sorry, but I'm a little anal when it comes to proper tool use.😢

[@ItsFixable]

Sometimes it's the only way it fits. Too, what makes it worse, I'm left handed.
