Couple extra tips: 1. A pick works better than a screwdriver to remove the o-rings. Less potential damage to the groove and easier removal of the o-ring. 2. Silicone in the groove BEFORE re-installing the o-ring allows better silicone coverage. 3. Soak the chrome parts (spout, retainer ring, etc.) in vinegar to remove the scale and deposits so it looks better and functions better. Any scale left inside the spout where water has been leaking past the o-rings will tear up the new o-rings faster.

To remove the collar off of the top, it depends on the brand of faucet. Sometimes there is a hexagon shape on top that you can grab with a crescent tench. But, often it’s a smooth sort of dome shape. This will take a pipe wrench or a pair of adjustable pliers large enough to grab it.

Not being the greatest fix-it man as I wasn't taught by my dad ; watching your video was most informative. Now I know what I need to fix the annoying leak is a set of rings and that silicone lubricant, I am going to search which hardware stores have these items , as we have Ace, Home Depot, and a Loews in my area. I'm still going to have to have some help from my Church brothers, though , as I have very bad arthritis in my joints. But I can at least get the materials we'll need for this easy project ! Thanks for your channel and clear, no-nonsense detailed step- by- step instructions, Sir. And thanks KZfaq for posting this 😊.

Glad I could help! All of those hardware stores should have what you need. The Lowe’s and Home Depot where I live probably have a better selection than the Ace keeps in stock. There are a range of sizes, so you will need to know the brand and model if you are going to try to purchase the specific size you need (this usually cost 1-2 dollars) or you can buy a variety pack that has a bunch of sizes (this usually runs more like $10)

Bad advice. The National Rubber Compatibility Chart says it's not recommended for nitrile butadiene rubber, which most o-rings for plumbing applications are made of. Lanolin contains small amounts of acids and alcohol.

@@mikecee3058 Thanks for looking into it. I've been using it for around 25 years in domestic applications and never had to change out any of the o-rings. I've re-greased some of them after ten years or so and not noticed any unusual degradation. CRC Lanocote for example seem to be pretty adamant it doesn't harm rubber or neoprene and contains no acids so for myself I'm happy to carry on using it because of its superior longevity. However if that's what the chart says it would be prudent to follow its recommendation.

Reminds me of my old builders grade sink and faucet that came with my house as new construction in 1980. Instead of repairing the leaky faucet I bought a new cast iron Kohler sink and a new Kraus faucet. Removed the old sink and faucet as a unit and had the new sink and faucet already hooked up. All I had to do was apply some plumbers putty along the perimeter of the countertop, drop the sink in place and make the connections to the water shutoff valves. So much easier than crawling under the sink trying to remove the hardware for the faucet.

Beautiful stuff. I am now a subscriber. Two things I liked about the video: 1. No background music while you were talking and explaining everything. That allowed me to watch and listen and pay attention to what you were saying. I wish all YT would knock it off with background music when they are talking. It is extremely distracting and annoying. I've been told people like the music. Beats me as to why. Unless it is a music video or a dance video, we don't need any music to listen to an aviation person telling us about aviation incidents and related matters or a DIY channel when the host tells us how to do something. 2. You explained the process in clear and easy-to-understand steps to the point that I was thinking, hey, even I could do it. I bought a house and will be moving later on this month, so I am hoping to not to have to use this skill for a while. But it is good to know about. Thank you.

Not knowing that its expansion after years of use was the cause of the leak, I went out to buy an "identical" ring only to find that it does not solve the leak problem. Fortunately, someone from Home Depot later gave me the correct size for free and told me about the expansion and I finally stop the leak.

Thanks. I have the same model and after 40 yrs of use it’s starting to leak around the base. I have seen some people push up the handle as they run the water and that is a No No. Release your hand from the handle when the water is running. The pressure on the handle causes more problems down the road. Also put something in the sink tub like a cloth to keep small parts from falling into the drain. Lesson learned on that here. Thanks again

Once i unfastened the handle i found out that my large nut was loose. Once I tightened the nut all was working good. No leaks and I did not need to replace anything. Mind you ....I had to tell the wife that it was a major repair and took me hours to fix. So she made me a steak dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy and apple pie.

It’s thought to say without looking at it. But it could be coming from the cartridge. Or it’s possible that the faucet itself has started to leak somewhere and it may be time to replace it.

I love the way that Allen screw came right out. Well, I have been trying every way suggested to turn a stuck Allen screw. But I have not tried a drill bit to start a hole and then use a left-handed screw to withdraw the Allen screw. Does that sound right to you ? Otherwise, it looks like I'll just have to buy one whole new faucet, ouch, $$. Thanks for your suggestions, Art

I’ve had those set screws be pretty stubborn. If you have an Allen head screw that is stripped out, then a removal tool is probably the best bet. And I think that is what you are referring to when you say left handed screw. I wouldn’t think you would need to drill it first though. I would turn to the drill after the removal tool didn’t work.

Since I bought a Price Pfister lifetime guarantee faucet 30 years ago, I contacted them to find out how to get the spout off(couldn’t get it to budge). They wanted a picture of the faucet and sent me a brand new one, free of charge. I’m guessing that is why you can’t find replacement parts in stores.

If there's water leaking then the cartidge probably should be replaced. There should be no water getting in there and the O-ring replacement might be temporary. Moen and Delta give free replacements of the cartidge - bring the one you take out to Home Depot and they provide the cartridge at no cost or call the manufacturer. The Moen replacement include a new cap and Allen wrench. The Allen key that worked for me is 3/32".

This is good advise. If you are opening up the faucet anyway, its not a bad idea to go ahead and replace the cartage anyway. especially if you can get the parts for free!

If it’s dripping out the end of the faucet then you will need to replace the cartridge too. It’s pretty easy to do if you are already replacing the o-rings. Unfortunately, I don’t have a video for that on this type of faucet yet. But here is a cartridge replace on a bathroom faucet. It’s pretty similar.

Great video! I am still waiting for my plumber to fix my leaking kitchen faucet, not sure if he forgot me or not. In two days my first rental guests arrive for the summer. My leak is also dripping under the sink towards the front up under the "hole" of the faucet mount, is this the same issue by any chance? I am sure you won't be able to help me in time, but I am a 62 yr old lady who is desperate to get this fixed and now. Thank you! Your video is by far the best I have watched so far.

If it’s dripping underneath the sink only when the faucet is on and flowing water. Then there is a good chance that it is the same issue.

I think you are referring to the silicone grease. I put a link for it in the description of the video. it helps the neck of the faucet turn smoothly and increases the life of the seals.

Any recommendations if the screw for the Allen wrench is stripped?
@RoscoReviews
@RoscoReviews 3 ай бұрын
You could try the rubber band trick. Where you sort of shove a rubber band (needs to be the wider kind) between the Allen wrench and the screw. Then it will have the rubber in there to help it grab. Another option would be to put a little bit of supper glue on the end of the wrench. Stick it in there and wait a few minutes for it to set up. Then try to unscrew it. If that works you will probably have to throw out the screw. But if it’s stripped than you probably don’t want it back in there anyway.

If you buy the repair kit that comes with the plastic washers, then you can definitely replace those while you have it apart. I usually just buy the ORings. I haven’t ever noticed the plastic rings breaking or wearing out. But I’m sure they can too.
