Woodford freezeless wall faucet model 17 repair for in-wall valve/stem separation

[@user-nt7ik8rb7j]

Thanks Mike, I had the very same problem. You saved me a lot of work and money. The trick to getting the inner part out was a little water pressure with the spout covered. The water pressure pushed the part with washers out, and all the splines were intact. I simply changed the washers and put it together without replacing the rod.

I have this same issue and was wondering how I would repair it. I was all ready to take a torch into the basement (fortunately for this problem, it is unfinished) and open it up from the inside. I may still have to do that but I will try your solution first. Thanks for the post!

@@dawg42145 I really hope this works for you. Let me know.

O.M.G - I wish we lived closer together, I'd buy you a beer or three. This worked exactly as you described and saved me a ton of work as the location of the end of the copper pipe was seriously buried in the wall. As you mentioned, I've seen zero other videos describing this approach. Thanks for posting this fix Mike!

Thanks for the video. I have the exact same problem and am having an issue with aligning the splines.

This worked. It took a lilted maneuvering but worked. Thanks for the video.

I'm happy to see this has helped a few people. I almost never get any comment notifications, as I only use my phone and not a computer. My apologies for not previously acknowledging the prior comments. I just now saw them. Take care everyone.
