Hope this wasnt a professional plumber who did this fix. Dont hire him to use garden hose and clamps to fix a galvanized leak or any leak at all.

Thank you for such a useful video! I was about to give up on getting my very similar faucet head apart. Running a screw into that little disc with the slot in order to pull it out worked great for me….a 6-32 screw fit nicely. Hook ‘em horns!

I have this exact same setup and those replacement stems are driving me crazy! A brand new one from HD just kept on leaking. I have smashed my finger, bought 3 of the stems and cussed so much I'd be uncomfortable if I went to heaven now, so no, I won't call a plumber I will go to plumbing supply and get the parts. Thanks

That’s a good idea. I have a 2023 Rav4 and have loaded quite @ bit of weight in the back ( a big Costco trip ) drove home ( 8 hours ) and had no issues. I don’t know if this issue has been addressed but I like your solution except for the steel tubes possibly vibrating? Maybe adding some foam or rubber end caps or even some waterline insulation foam might be a good idea.

I just put 2 pieces of hard foam and cut it to the height of the lip and glued it to the panel, the foam sits on top of the spare tire and works really well.

You sir, are a genius! lol. I really didn't want to take the entire thing apart but after a while, I got a hunch it wasn't the aerator. It turned out to be the second back flow preventor. I used a safety pin and running water to get the sludge out of it. Strange that the first one was clean and working fine. By the way, I think we have the same faucet. Where do you find the back flow preventors? Or do you have a model number to share? Thanks!

If your intake valve sticking open is anything like mine on my GCV160, I could get it unstuck but it would only last for one cutting. Go to start it a week later and the same thing happens. After watching numerous videos about this intake/exhaust valve sticking open problem I decided enough is enough. HERE IS THE PERMANENT FIX: Pull the carburetor and pull the spark plug. If the engine will run, try to get it hot before you do this. Fill the cylinder and fill the intake port full of transmission fluid. Work the valves up and down and leave sit overnight. Work the valves in the morning and pull the rope to get as much fluid out that you can. Install the plug and carburetor. Start it up. It’s going to smoke like hell. Five cuts later, no more stuck open valves.

yup, when I picked up mine, I noticed this right away and wondered "what was Toyota thinking. This must of gone thru so many people to get this design approved. JUST WEIRD !!!

Thanks for this video! I picked up my RAV4 a couple days ago, and I leant on the panel covering the spare to reach further into the boot and it colapsed in on me. I can't weld but your video gave me a good starting point for ideas. Made a similar contraption to yours today but out of wood, and now it's super solid and I can lean on it/place heavy items in there no problem. I couldn't find any other vids or forum posts talking about this issue which baffles me as I can't imagine we're the only few who have noticed that unsupported section. So thank you!

How about plywood(s) on top of spare tire? I replaced all five tires with 235/65/r17. Width of 235/65/17 tire gives near perfect support.

Thank you, this video helped me a lot!

Thank you a lot. I have been looking for a way to tear down and clear my delta faucet like your video.

Thank the ethanol in your fuel for this. It gets old quick and these OHV engines can't handle even slightly stale ethanol blended gas. Ethanol carbons up the intake valve which makes them stick. Use only fresh fuel or non-ethanol fuel only.

Thank you relived a lot of stress after booking my appointment!

Thanks for the video. My water was tasting bad and this helped me identify a couple extra steps for full disassembly

This saved me, same thing, stuck intake after not running it for a few months. It was even more stuck than yours, but only till i broke it free. It wasn't just moving slow, it wasn't moving at all. Then POP, came free. Was still very sticky at the top and bottom of travel so I used some Ballistol to lube it up and exercise the valve until it ran smooth. Fired right up after that. Thanks for this.

Super helpful and straight to the point. Just completed my appointment today at IAH. I able to park and get to the Global Entry area in less than 10 minutes. Thank you!

thanks cleaned it out now it works better, didn't have to replace o rings yet

Thanks for the video. Did you have to apply online first before going to the interview?

I'm surprised the manufacturer didn't see this kind of issue coming. It's just so clear when you take it apart. Just a poor design.

Agreed! Please make and sell! I want one, too!

Nice bike u could travel,50 miles one way and return on 1 charge 200 full batter be the best no range restrictions

Thank you for this! My wife and I was able to navigate through Bush to our Global Entry Interview fairly easy because of your video. They were very nice to us even though they were backed up due to loss of power and storm from the previous day. We were in and out and our applications were approved before we made it back to the south side. Thanks for posting this video!

This was very helpful. Thank you.

So, what questions did they ask u for the interview?

How far we've come in 15 yrs lol

Thank you

Good demo instructions but kind of a klutz. People walking around, stuff all over work space, wrong tools, not prepared for video. But taught me what I needed to do so uses he did a good job!

This is exactly the information I'd been searching for to be able to disassemble and work on my Delta faucet's sprayer assembly. Thanks so much!!

Which faucet model is this? I have the same exact one and need to find the Model #.

Huge thanks for your effort in creating the video. Helped me out a lot!

I have a plastic piece preventing me from removing it😔

Your tubspout was leaking because the washer that you fished out for your wall that had been mounted on the bottom of the valve was destroyed. The "o" ring that came in the package, is the replacement "o" ring that seats onto the stem of the valve. Unscrew the valve body from the sten and you will see it there. Since you have that stem out of the wall, you might as well replace that "o" also. After you do that, put some "stem" lube around the "o" ring before you screw the valve body back on. If you don't do this, at some point you will start getting water to leak from the HANDLES. When that happens, it's because those "o" are warn and needs to be replaced.

Great video. Everything you need for repair. Mine was plugged from label left on new anode rod. Delta discontinued replacement sprayer. Thanks

Thanks for your help!

So easy even a girl could do it. lol, don't trip folks, relax this is coming from a women.

Buy yourself some paracord for the first wrap.

Thanks! Was able to fix our sticky switch because of your detailed breakdown. Now it works perfectly :) also, Go Longhorns!

DO NOT ADD MUSIC NOISE TO ANY DEMO OR DIY VIDEO. INFURIATING LEVEL OF NOISE DROWNS THE VOICE AND HURTS THE EARS. UNWATCHABLE. WE ARE NOT TEENAGERS IN YOUR SOCIAL CLUB. WE ARE ADULTS. BEHAVE LIKE AN ADULT AND STOP ALL MUSIC. FOCUS ON THE FIX WITHOUT THE ROCK CONCERT IN BACKGROUND!!!!!

Can you give the dimensions to make it? It looks really useful

Can you make one and sell me?

Are you walking around outside in white socks?

Finally a clear video showing what you have to do to take apart the spray head. Other videos showed using a 17mm bolt and I couldn't figure out how it would fit. So this showed me that it's as simple as take out the screw and push it through great! Only thing I noticed was when I went to put it back in there was a black trim ring around the top of the sprayer. That was a bit fiddly to get put back. Overall thank you very much for showing me how to take this thing apart I have the exact same model.

Genuinely interested in buying this and paying for shipping if you could make another one and sell it.

This video truly saved me $100 and a lot of aggravation trying to find the proper replacement head. Turns out I have a Delta spray head too. It took me 10 minutes to fix my spray head which wouldn't switch back and forth. I removed a lot of junk from the head and it is working like it was new even without even replacing O-rings. Mine were in good shape. There was a very small plastic part that was a spacer that I didn't see on yours. It fell off after I had taken the screw out and removed the internals. I wasn't sure where it went but the only place was over female screw threads that the screw went into. Thank you for doing this video. Warren

A dozen thanks for this. Once you removed the plastic rocker and exposed the Philips underneath, all my questions were answered.

It is now 6 years after you made the video. How is the Prius doing? Do you still own it? If so, how many miles are on it? Any electrical gremlins you’re dealing with?

What about the washer that was inside the wall behind stem did u need to replace that and what was it thanks
