ok now let's start by taking off the
faucet handle so that we can get down to
the nuts is holding the Washington stuff
down
okay we got to handle all now let's take
this step out here which turning
clockwise
Chris not a good tight twist
ok
ok that's the point we can take it off
with our hands
ok
now
this is what standard the faucet looks
like
here we have a washer
see the washer there and screw here in
the middle which holds the washer in
place
ok the washer doesn't appear to be too
bad but if you notice if you look at the
screw on top you see a lot of calcium
buildup
sometimes this calcium buildup can build
up so much that i will actually create
chunks of calcium that will prevent the
washer from sitting flush on the seat
and sometimes this will make your water
continued to run or drip
so what you would do in that case if you
have trash and deposit reach up on you
need to take
if you got someone to help you having to
it
reach up under the sink turn the faucet
undersea on slowly come over the whole
of the closet and as the water comes out
it will push out a trance to my hand
down it ok and how to flush out all the
trash standard now if there was any
trash in there it should be out and
would be we would be ready to put the
stem back in but let's look at it a
little closer look at some more
ok let's see if we get sodas calcium the
office screw here okay
okay here i have set washes hey I most
of these watches are a lot of different
sizes depending on what you might need
you can pick this up in any hardware
store closed blouse just get a box of
assorted washes in costume with ok let's
take a screwdriver
let's see if we can get then screw off
okay sometimes not easy when I like to
do when I do have one is gonna give me a
hard time we're gonna pair of pliers
such as this
grab still
where would hold nice is 30 and still
now screwdriver
pain in hand down quite tight enough
kick
well as you can see sometimes is pretty
hard to try to get that screw off of
there so in that case when you get to
the problem where you do strip the screw
out just take the whole sting with you
to a up hardware store so they can match
it up come back home sleep it back in
okay with this particular one here this
down here this crew is already loose so
i am going to show you how to take the
screw off which i'm sure it's King we've
got the screens and this one out
just take the screw out okay
washer came with it here ok now you see
where the wash this down in there
ok now let's see if we can find the
proper washer and it's this particular
still
ok
go to our sources here
look dude area 51 is going to fit right
in there
my dad's pretty close you can see it can
see that can
hey this is pretty close to anyone just
a little bit smaller than that
okay that's a little too small too small
okay here we got one right here it's
perfect dick see this way
see and watch it fits in there perfectly
this is a flat felled washer and flat
washer I'm sorry
they also come in bailed and a lot of
times i do prepare the flat washers
myself
ok now that we have the washer on there
let's take the screw and started back in
the middle
ok
tighten it up this is what holds in
Washington Place course
okay now before we put the skin back in
what we want to do is look inside the
body of the valve and see what the seat
looks like if the seat is scratched or
scored in any kind of way even the
smallest scratch it will allow the water
to come through and drip and even if it
doesn't come through and rip and will
tear your washer up and you'll be
replacing watches pretty often so let's
see if we can look down into the body of
the well so i can show you with the seat
may life now taking mind this is one of
your basic washer
I mean I'm sorry faucets you do have
another type of to handle faucet which
we will cover later in this program so
let's get our sea with this up bodies
back look like inside the seat
ok as you can see with the skin off and
you look down without the battle body
you see the seat i had used his
flashlight was kind of dark hard to see
you see that seat down there and begin
idea . to you
screwdriver ok dangerous the seat right
here that round shape they're made of
brass ok now if you see any marks or
scars on that seat that's going to give
you problems even you won't get the
water to stop trippin you will be
continuously replacing it with washers
now this team is bad i'm not going to
recommend that you try to change the
seat i would recommend that you change
the whole entire faucet itself for one
reason there are so many different seats
made for this particular faucet that you
have time running around town trying to
find the right seat to fit right in
there and then putting the scene
sometimes can be kind of complicated but
you would come out cheaper in the long
run just replacing the faucet which will
also cover throughout this video
replacing the boss
ok now that we've taken the valve apart
to see what the problem was and this was
a pretty good faucet anyway what we're
gonna do put it back together just the
way we took it apart first stem here
come back in screw it in
so we get a good start ok now we've got
turned down by hand times we do with our
hand let's grab a crescent wrench
adjustable rest lunch
get access to the side
ok tighten it down
also by the way
