Thank you so much for this! This is the best video on KZfaq explaining how to fix this problem. This is exactly what I needed :)

Always cover the sink drain hole to prevent anything, screws, etc from falling through.

Finally, KZfaq recommended something useful!

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 😊.

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.

Thanks a bunch. Went down to Ace and picked up a couple O rings and installed. Problem solved. Beats having to replace the entire faucet.

I'm so grateful for this video. We've been living with a minor leak for months because our faucet has a gold colored finish and they're very hard to find these days. I usually hate working on plumbing, but this went fine (other than the shutoff valves being frozen - glad my brother recommend Kroil). I I can't believe there was nothing in the manual for this faucet about these o-rings :(

Thank you Roscoe!!!!! I could not afford a new sink and I found a cheap little pack of various O rings at a flea market fix it guys stand. It has the ones I need! And I am not plumber efficient. LOL But I can do this. THank you so much

Really appreciate the links to the O Ring set and grease!

Thanks so much! You saved me a bunch of money for a surprisingly simple fix

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.

Most important advice would have been to plug both sinks to avoid dropping bits down into the pipes.

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

Well wife won't be happy knowing she not getting a new faucet... Thank you for the money saving video!

These mixers are great, so reliable and rarely leak. Run for decades no problems, don't know about the chinese cheapies but the older ones made in Australia are great.

Ahhhh....you just saved me a bunch of money. Thanks SO much for the instruction! 😊

Very informative and a job well done. Suggestion put a strainer plug or a small piece of cloth on the drain hole so to prevent something falling in the drain. Thanks again

Fingers crossed our replacement goes this easy! Off we go!

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.

Thank you very much. I want to point out when I took the top o ring out, it was extremely loose. 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. Feeling confident like a plumber.

Thank you!! Thanks to you, my leak is fixed. While my faucet is different, thanks to you, I was able to avaid purchssing a new faucet like I thiught I may have to. Thank you, thank you!

Thanks for the easy instructions.

This is so helpful! Thanks for posting this! 😁

Bardzo za to dziękujemy! To najlepszy film na KZfaq wyjaśniający, jak rozwiązać ten problem. To jest dokładnie to, czego potrzebowałem :)

One small tip Rosco. Put the plug in the sink, or cover the hole. Just in case you drop any small item in there.

Thankyou! Very straightforward. No Bla-Bla-Bla with long "ancient histories"

Excellent video ! But I can't help it, but I gotta say that for many, the fun begins when you start bending allen keys and the screw is seized !

I have the exact same faucet. Now to follow your procedure. Your video is the very one I wanted to see and thank you for making it.

Suggest soaking the parts with calcium build up in vinegar while putting on O rings etc. removes build up easily. Also use Channel lock to remove top retention ring vs. large pipe wrench

Life saver! Thanks. We have same model. Will be doing this as soon as I buy the silicone grease, the rubber rings, and the sediments filter mesh or whatever it's called (ours broke...)

Very detailed. Thank you for sharing. This was a tremendous help😊.

just did this, it worked like a charm. thanx!

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO

Thanks Rosco ! I really do appreciate it Bud ! I

Thanks from Hungary ! I needed Your Video !

Thank you, and the helpful commenters! Trying to sell a house and this saved me money!!!!😊

Great, thanks, been wondering how to solve that. I've found lanolin grease to be a good alternative to plumbers grease. Doesn't tend to wash away over time anywhere near as fast, lasts for quite a number of years.

seriously, this is terrific ~ thankyou

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.

Cool Allen wrench

I might actually try this myself. It looks relatively easy. Thanks for this!

Definitely trying this!! Awesome precise video

We need this to eliminate leaks in our homes

Wow, that is thin stainless steel. You can see how it flexes. My sink is from the 1970's. They used thicker metal back then.

Rosco rules ! Merci pour le conseil !

thanks for the demo and info, have great day

Damn this video was so helpful! Only problem is I didn't read before diving in and my leak isn't at the base 🫠😆🫣🤦🏼‍♀️ Wellll...I know what to do for this kind of leak! Now I need to fix a drippy faucet 🤦🏼‍♀️ drippy was the correct word damn 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

Thank you Sir!! I need to do that in my kitchen.

Cover those two drains to prevent screw drop into them, very important

Great job! Thanks for the video.

If you can't find a suitable o-ring replacement just wrap some Teflon tape around the area where the o-ring goes (after cleaning the o-ring area). Reinstall the o-ring and the Teflon tape will account for the o-ring wear and make the o-ring usable for at least a few more years.

Brilliant...excellent explanation thanknyou🎉🎉🎉❤

Excellent video! Thank you, need to do this exact thing.

Perfect video. Thanks man!

I put these types of stickshift faucets in a few years ago, but I wish I had just fixed and stuck with my old Delta two-knob kind. They had lasted several decades and were easy to adjust the desired water temperature. I don't like fumbling with this single handle type.

Thanks from Poland :)

Good stuff. 😎

Greate narration think you chef

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.

Excellent job...thank you

Thank you so much it worked like a charm exactly as you. Did I did and I'm back in business not a drop of water? It's dropping anymore god bless

thank you lot's.

Thanks. Excellent video

Thankyou you're very helpful

Thank you so much for this !

Just a big thanks!!

Thanks...Really appreciate the Video

Thank you

Excellent thanks

Good job

Thank you.

Very nice, indeed! Thank you for the video.😀

Thanks

Good show thanks

Now i can fix my moen kitchen faucet leaks, then charge my landlord for repair. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for your Video. I forgot buy the slime vial and I have Vaseline replace 😄. Again Thank you very much.

Thank you for this video! What if it is leaking even when off under spout and base?

Thanks!!!

Thank you!

Is MUCH better to get a brand new faucet 😁😁😁😁😁😁

Thank you so much

Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤

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 you don't have any plumbers grease, l have used Vaseline on the rings. Use some fine steel wool to clean up the faucet and remove water deposits.

I looked very closely at the top part of my leaky kitchen faucet, and I can’t find that little pin that you’re supposed to loosen first to start what’s supposed to be an easy repair ! My doctor says you can also use Vaseline jelly on the O-rings when I’m replacing them ? Is he correct? My local Ave hardware said to bring in the old rings and they’re pretty sure they have them in stock. They also told me that O-rings come in hundreds of sizes, so it’s important to make sure you get the right size. BTW my old faucet is a Moen brand if that really matters.

I need it too, thank you for your video.

Good job Men 😊

Great repair demonstration! Well done

Very nice

Good video!

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".

I'm kinda handy k,,,,,butknowing and seeing what you just did helps one hellova lot....

Nice

Thank you sir!

Great job! Can you do you next video on changing the seals and guides on a 1990 Mercedes? Thanks in advance.

Any recommendations if the screw for the Allen wrench is stripped?

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

Very helpful video. I had to call a plumber because the seals were shot and frankly easier to replace the whole unit than obtain the seals and i was under pressure. Frankly not impressed with the design of the taps.

Thanks! 👍🏻
