Thank you! I am a housewife and do all the plumbing, painting and fixing up around my house so this was very helpful to me! I just changed the hose bibs on 2 outside faucets and one of the had no pressure so I think this is the reason!

Thank you so much!!! , my Dad thought me how to change a tap washer when I was tiny , I haven’t had the need to change one all these years until now , so I asked him for a recap and he told me "well I taught you how to change one you ought to remember" 🤨 so glad I came across this video

Cheers Shane! A daft little job which I had no idea how to do. I've now got two kitchen taps like new. My old man would've been proud. He knew how to do all this but his number came up before he could teach me. Thanks once again :-)

Thanks Shane, for including how to remove a stuck spindle. The washer in my tap has not been changed over 10 years, so it's really tough. I had to watch a few videos to find the one which shows what to do if you have an old and hard to remove spindle, and yours covered it well. The simple 6 steps you provided is very simple and easy to follow.

Cheers Knackers, you saved me a bastard of a round trip to the local diy store. Just took the tap apart and cleaned it all up, replaced washer, no leak. I’ll replace it later when I’m out near the diy store. 😃👍🏻

Thanks a million!!! In all, this was a 20 minute job. 4 minutes turn off the water, remove 2 faucet stems, a trip to and from the local Home Depot in Cedar Hill, TX, it cost me $3.34 to buy both a Pkg of 10 beveled and a Pkg of 10 flat washers, replaced both washers on both faucets, turn the water back on and Voila! No more running water. You're Awesome!!!! Old Girl in Big TX

Extra extra tip: I noticed you turned off the tap then gave it another slight turn to 'nut it up'. That's probably what stuffed the washer in the first place. Gently turn off the tap and as soon as the flow stops, you should stop!

Thanks for your help! It’s been years since I did any DIY as have been working & just retired. My husband can’t hang a picture straight for trying. Your video helped me stop a badly dripping tap which will hopefully save a lot on the dreaded water bill! Cheers.

Thanks mate, I was going to solder and replace the whole Spigot. Watching your video gave me the first choice.

Very helpful. Will change it myself later this week instead of writing to the agent. Thanks for the teaching!

Thanks heaps for this. Hubby would take a year to get around to fixing the tap. Now i can do it myself. If you want a job done, do it yourself.

Absolute champion! Fixed the leaky tap at ours and am now THE man. Thanks boss

Another graet tip Knackers & a wonderfull insight into the Ozzy Plumbing systems. It's easy to see you don't suffer from frost down there in the colonies dear boy. One wee point, your outside tap should be secured to the wall, someone could bump into it or it could be pulled by a hose & water would be pissing everywhere!!! Give me a couple of day & I'll jump on the next flight, I'll soon have that fixed for you................;-)

Thankyou so much!! You just saved my butt big time! I accientally pulled the whole top of the tap off drunk at 2am trying to turn on my garden irrigation system. I had to turn off the water to 4 other people's units...and called a 24 hour plumber....they still haven't called me back to organise coming out but thanks to you while i was waiting i watched your video and now everyone;s water is back on...tap is back on..and garden is being happily watered by my irrigation system:))

Excellent instructions! Needed neighbour's muscle to get connection undone though but he had a spare washer, so didn't even have to go to hardware store!

THANK YOU!!! Super clear instructions! And you've just saved me having to listen to my step dad complain about having to do it! Thanks!!

Ripper mate. Really straightforward and clear. So nice to hear the Aussie voice and not some Yank

My Dear Aussie Uncle Knackers I sir, am a knucklehead. Your videos have changed my life, made me more attractive, opened up new possibilities and even cured my bad breath. My chihuahuas now love me and seagulls no longer see me as a target for their strafing runs. I thank you. MY power tools thank you, My local hardware store thanks you. In all seriousness, I discovered your channel when trying to figure out how to screw a piece of wood to a concrete wall.You're a pisser G'day mate

Replaced the whole tap (hardware shop didn't have a washer), wouldn't have done it only for your step by step approach. Actually got my 13y son to do it with me. Two men educated today ! And the cook was happy too!!

Great video, Uncle Knackers! I've been waiting for hubby to fix the tap for ages, but with your help I did it all by myself. Thank you. :)

Thanks a lot for your helpful and entertaining explanation of how to change a washer on an outside tap! Very useful!

Many thanks for uploading this video. The tap outside just below our kitchen window is leaking and i've NEVER changed a washer before. Now its time for me to do it. and watching your video will help me. Thank You again Uncle Knackers. x

I am a 66 year old female on my own... Well, it sounded and looked FAR too easy, but I gave it a go!! It took about 60 seconds!! AND It worked!! Well nearly mostly. It is not dripping so fast, but still just a little bit, but so much better.... Thankyou.

Thanks very much - to mu utter discredit, I have managed to go 57 years without knowing how to do this - better late than ever, Very handy vid. Simon / Adelaide

just lost son. daughter can now get her teen son to repair all taps. something all fathers should teach their children. a big thanks

Thanks sueluvu. Glad you found the video useful. Cheers

No worries J Ess. Glad l could help. Thanks for the comment. Cheers matte

Thank you thought I needed a plumber but it looks easy hubby has had a stroke so cannot do it now will give it a try again thankyou

Excellent vid, mate. No waffling, straight to the "what to do". Beaudy.

Thanks Knackers! Your DIY video is so self explanatory for dummies like me.

clear calm easy to follow..thank you

Thanks Shane. Great video for newbie home owners maintenance task.

thanks so much. I got to change my washer all by myself. and with ur help of course lol😊 thanks again have a God bless day.

This was a great demo - made it really clear. Thank you. I hadn't thought to tap gently on the tap with a hammer to loosen the corrosion, so now I'll give it another go.

Like it, 7 years ago and I eventually found you. I am going to fix mine tomorrow 😁

Thank you Shane,, had a really annoying outside tap for months,, gonna give it a go!

I like the way you know your stuff, but still tell it a a funny daggy way. Good job. Thanks

No worries Thomas! Glad l could help. Thanks for the comment. Cheers mate.

You are the best! Thank you for the easiest step by step instructions! My faucet is now leak proof,thanks to you.

hats off dud u r genius . i like the simplicity of presentation which others such videos lack. good luck

Nice demonstration

Glad you liked it Darla. Cheers

Thanks a lot. I was gonna change the entire tap, but this helped.

Thanks Shane...... Guess who went outside after watching your vid and fixed her leaky outside tap? and..and... changed the washer!..... Yes 'twas little old meee..... thanks so much for the assistance.... and for saving me money ( I'm on a water meter...... )

Thanks Knackers, your a legend.

Really helpful even after so many years... Thank you🙂🙂

Thanks for watching Tony. Glad l could help mate. Cheers

Thanks Shane that was awesome, am now going to fix a couple of mine.

Well played mate. Changed my first tap washer using ur ace video. And it made me laugh! Too good!

Hi Annette. Thanks for the comment, it's much appreciated. In regard to the wall mounted taps, normally it's just simply a matter of removing the old tap set by unscrewing it, and then install the new tap set by screwing it on. There's no need to remove any tiles or wall sheeting if that's what you're worried about. Hope that helps. Cheers

Cheers Knackers, you're a lifesaver mate.

[My response was to fixing the outdoor faucet leak. I'm now a subscriber, mate!]

No worries mytzipick1. Glad l could help. Cheers mate

Thanks uncle, you just saved me $100 call out fee to fix my garden tap. Very good video, didn't know how easy it was to do it. I just need to find out how to replace my kitchen tap because it's a weird set up and none of the hardware stores have what I got.

I know its eight years later but thanks mate! Video helped a lot!

Just moved to a water meter so thought I better fix the dripping tap. If I'd known it was that easy I would have done it years ago! Subscribing to see if there's any other stuff I can get done - happy wife = happpy life 😆

Im the knucklehead who's arse you just saved. Respect

Many thanks Uncle Knackers for giving me the confidence to fix this running outdoor tap so I can get on with the cooking ! Top tip on using hammer to loosen mains tap also worked or I wouldn't have been able to turn off the mains..

Thanks for the comment Raul. Much appreciated. Cheers mate.

Thank you, my husband can now fix our leaking tap outside. BIG BIG HELP

Was helpful, not the washer I needed to replace (was leaking out the top) but discovered the lil o ring soon enough n now gotta spray-free tap.

Thanks Knackers...You're the expert on leaks!!

Ah Shane, that was refreshingly brilliant! Now to go change that washer....

Thanks mate from granny Susan, Bangor, Northern Ireland

Cheers Hoot. Appreciate the comment.

I have fixed my kitchen leak that I had for 2 years, I also replaced the basin handles in the bath room with new ones and stopped a leak by replacing the seal with a new one for the cold water one, however I could not undo the spindle for the hot water one, in future I will have to get a plumber if that stuffs up I just could not move it. Next pay I am going to get the shower and bath handles replaced and the seals. You saved me so much money which I really couldn't afford right now, I was quoted 650 dollars to do the above and fix a toilet. I have checked out the toilet but haven't got a clue how to take off the buttons that flush the toilet. No matter what I tried could not remove them and I stuffed up the 1/2 flush button now..... I bought the seals for it but I just can't move those buttons to get to the bottom and unscrew it and replace the seal. When I can afford it will have to get some rip off merchant to come and fix it for me. I got a new tap for out the back yard I need to replace the whole tap so will give it a go but worried i might stuff it up. :( Thank you so much uncle knackers.....love that name. cheers Thank goodness for people like you who are kind enough to help people like me who thought no way would I be able to do these things. I could not afford to get a plumber out for 2 years. You inspire me Sir.

Excellent work fendushi! Glad l could help. Cheers

Thanks for stopping by TruthNTransparency and for the great comment. Much appreciated, and l'm glad that l could help. Cheers mate

You are THE MAN! Thank you so much for this video. You saved me a lot of headache! Some videos say tear down your wall etc to get to the pipe your method worked great. Love the expression too!

Thank you. I hope my repair is as easy as your looked.

Thank you for this, really easy to follow and that is my outdoor tap now sorted :)

Thanks uncle Knackers, you just unknackered me. Cheers Gary

Well presented and very clear instructions. I'm attacking that tap today!

cool... thanks mate. I would have had a go anyway, but your video let me know what I needed to do. 👍

No worries strangecathedrals. Glad l could help. Good luck with the job. Cheers.

Thanks Fidana, appreciate the comment. Cheers

Great video mate. Cheers - that's worth a shrimp on the barbie and a cold one. Don,t forget the Aeroguard & áv a good weekend.

Thanks, just changed mine. Note it will further help beginners to advise them to also: 1. When turning off the water main and opening the tap to flush all excess water out that one needs to also OPEN THE TAP ALL THE WAY BEFORE UNSCREWING IT 2. To undo the spindle turn it ANTI-CLOCKWISE (and to redo it turn it clockwise) 3. Once the new washer has been added check the red washer on the spindle whether that needs replacing too AND also it is best to apply SILICONE TAPE around the screw part of the spindle before placing it back on the tap and closing it by turning it clockwise. This prevents any leaking.

Thanks for the comment toojohnny. Appreciate it. Cheers

Thank you. This was perfect. I nailed it.

Thanks you. Solid advice, still relevant and simple 😊

Thanks for the comment Michael. Much appreciated. Cheers.

Thanks mate. This video was really help.

thank god I can now change the tape washer on my own, while the husband (plumber) is off sick cheers

Great - thanks for your help - I am 66 (female) and have never changed a tap washer before. This is a piece of cake.

Thxs Q Shane .... I now knw how to fix my tap too .... always worry getting some1 in to fix my tap.

Good on you my friend for showing me. God bless

Thx - super simple clear & helpful

Good on you Sue. You'll have no drama's. Just follow the video and you can't go wrong. Thanks for the comment. Cheers:)

Thanks Sonia, much appreciated. Cheers

you get my like and comment for that innovative cardboard drip test xD

It was a great tip. I run to Lowe's or Home Depot to work on myself. Thanks for the great video, sir.

Thanks for the comment Paul. Cheers mate

Brilliant video, makes the job look so easy. I'll give it a go and let you know how it went.

Cheers JCSyd. Glad l could help.

Thank you so much. That was so easy to do. You rock

Norbury, l may have the answer...l said the word 'may'. You know the rubbery, grippy material that some people line their kitchen drawers with? Place some of that around the white enamel before applying the multigrips. This should stop the multigrips from slipping. Just a suggestion...Try it and let me know how it goes. Cheers

G'day Doug, thanks for the comment. Much appreciated. Hope all is well in North Carolina. Cheers mate.

great explanation. thanks for putting it up

Thanks Shane. You saved me some $$$ by not having to call out a plumber. GREAT TIP KNACKERS 😄
