  1. They went from a completely assembled faucet to a completely disassembled faucet without showing you how to f**** do it

  2. Sigh… ok, I'm working on a kitchen faucet. But mine is leaking at the handle, not the spout. It was kind of gunky in there, so thanks for letting me know it's a tiny hex screw. I'm stuck; the handle doesn't want to come off. What exactly is resisting?

  3. Worked perfect on my 20 year old faucet. I ordered the rebuild kit on Amazon and it took an hour or so (another hour spraying the set screw with WD-40 several times and waiting).

  4. WOW!!! That was FLIPPIN WONDERFUL! A three minute tutorial to describe how to disassemble and to reassemble three different cartridges. Wow! I am so tired of those long tutorials for one thing. Thank you so much for this blessing! I’m actually saving it to my videos.????????????????????❤️❤️❤️

  5. Great video-thanks! My problem is only the hot water is dripping from my single handle. How would I fix this?

  6. Thanks, this was short & sweet, but so fast over the very first step: taking off the handle of the single handle faucet. What kind of tool? Phillips head? Hex head? Pry bar? TNT?

  7. I think it would be really easy to work with a brand new faucet, like this helpful video shows, but try doing it to a faucet that maybe hasn't had any repairs for 10 years or more? I'd be willing to bet it would be a lot dirtier, messier and that one thing that always goes wrong that takes a 15 minute project and turns it into an hour? Still, the video does help…

  8. Thanks for the tips! Worked like a charm, saved me a call (and looong wait) from the plumber!

  9. How nice for the lady in the video to be taking apart new parts that haven't been in place for ten years.

  10. Mine has this gear-thing at the top (around the cam) and the ball-valve just won't pull out.
    Anyone know what I'm talking about?

  11. Came for Gami, left with the leak in my faucet being fixed after all these years
