Got one job did the same way take the head off and flush the pipe, however the copper shred was stuck in the flexible hose reduce water pressure. I would recommend take the hose off from the wall give the flushing. Or don't put spindle on, give a quick on and off completely flushed. It's my feedback.

If you screw the spindle in the closed position you risk trapping little pieces of metal against the washer. Flush them out first by leaving the spindle open when you screw it up.

The plumbing section where all the washers are. It's a manual tool though. We've found that after a few uses the seating ends up with a rippling effect which never goes away. I will try the drill type of tool next time. Maybe a plumbers supplier has them.
