I have a leaky faucet. I've shut the water off, removed the chrome cover over the control stem handle, but I'm stumped. How do you remove the brass fitting that holds the control assembly in place? I don't have a crescent wrench small enough to get under the handle to loosen the nut. At least that's how I thought I needed to fix it. There's some slotted hole on the side of the stem, but I can't see inside it to know if that has anything to with the problem. Any ideas?
Normally there is an allen wrench that unscrews to allow the top to come off the control valve you can go to a home depot and show them the vavle repair you have to get the right allen wrench if you don't have the right one. normally they are 1/16 of an inch in diameter.there are three O-rings that can leak the barrel O-ring 2 of them and then the small o rigs for allowing the hot or cold to come out of with a spring on the inside of the barrel. let me know if you need more help.
