    Thank you so much for this video. My faucet is exactly as shown & it's an easy fix. Now, if Home Depot still carry this part, I am in. Excellent lesson.

      @MissStarlaMae Thanks for your note. I too was a single mom for many years with my own old house to keep up with. Had to figure many things out. I also remember the first time I replaced a light fixture in my 20's and said to myself, "Wow, that was pretty easy..." it gave me the confidence to try more and more fixes/repairs and I love it. Best Regards Lynne

    This was EXACTLY what I needed to see and we were able to change our leaky faucet with this easy guided video. We had the hot valve to change so just a mention that you need the H version, but everything was great. THANK YOU for making this video! Please continue to make more!

      Glad it helped!! You can also spray white vinegar on the lime build up area and wrap it tightly in plastic for several hours or overnight to help break up the lime build up.

    • @mi-tinker
      @mi-tinker  2 года назад

      Thanks for watching! Vinegar was to loosen the lime and crusty water build up so I could loosen the cartridge. Once the cartridge is out and any debris cleaned out, you should be good to go.

    Does this faucet have the rubber washers and springs under the cartridge that you have to replace as well, or is it just the cartridge, that you have to remove and replace? Thanks.

    • @mi-tinker
      @mi-tinker  3 года назад +2

      Hi Thanks for the Question. It was an all-in-one cartridge. If you saw multiple parts when removing the old one it is because it fell apart when removing it. Hope this helps.

    My elderly father changed both cartridges which stopped the leak for a week then it started back up again. Do you think he put something in wrong? And with a sink like yours how do you know if it is the cold or hot that is leaking? I'd hate to have to buy new parts again for both sides.

    • @mi-tinker
      @mi-tinker  2 года назад +1

      Thanks for your question. If it still leaks, something is still not quite right. To discover which cartridge is leaking. Simply turn off one of the valves under the sink (hot or cold) and leave an empty bowl under the faucet. If you come back a few hours later and see water in the bowl, then you know the valve you left open may be the problem. It is however also possible both lines are leaking. So test both hot and cold this way. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and if you have not done so, I hope you will subscribe!!

    Thanks so much for posting this Glacier Bay cartridge replacement tutorial! My teapot set looks exactly like this one, only it has the very scarce Polished Brass finish. Replacing the cartridge is necessary because I see no option for replacing the entire faucet set to stop the cold tap from dripping. One question? Any idea what size screw the handle uses? Mine looks very corroded and will have to replaced in addition to the cartridge! TIA and double thumbs up on the video.

    what is the plastic part on the tip of the stem called? I cannot get it out of the handle to put it on the new stem in the proper location.
    I also cannot look up how to get it out without knowing what it's called.

    • @mi-tinker
      @mi-tinker  2 года назад

      The bottom of the stem was the washer (broken) and the valve itself, then at the stop of the stem was the handle adaptor.

    I find the aftermarket cartridges are really hit and miss. Sometimes they don't fit the same or usually they are slightly larger which means it will leak. You can exchange it and try another. Maybe I just have bad luck but I find the aftermarket cartridges are 50/50 if they actually fit properly.

    Does anyone know the model of the faucet or the part# of the original cartridge? It will help ordering on-line or talking to Glacier Bay representative. So many negative comments on Home Depot website about the smaller size of Danco part that caused cartridge spin during turn on and off. Appreciate your help.

    So that it will not damage the nut, it is best to use an adjustable wrench compare to pliers to loosen and tighten nut.

    • @mi-tinker
      @mi-tinker  3 года назад +1

      I agree Luis, what you did not see is me trying to use the adjustable wrench with the first go around on removing it... however, I could not get it loosened with the lime and hard water grime build up. The pliers gave me a little extra grip to break the build up seal. Thanks for watching!

    • @dougs3866
      @dougs3866 3 года назад +1

      @@mi-tinker Thanks for the video. I had the same issue removing the nut (only small part on the top to grip, poor design?). When I forced it, it shifted the plate a bit, not the nut. Any suggestions to help loosen the nut (will WD-40 help)? Your video is the only one close to my faucet as I have no idea about the brand and I have watched many times to catch the details.
      Finally, I remove the cap and handlers, and spray vinegar every half (or an) hour for 2 days and clean up the deposit , hit the nuts with rubber hammer (next try will be hairdryer), and use adjustable wrench to loosen both nuts. I did thread the nut a little bit on the hot water side but I am happy to see the results. This video did help a lot.

    • @mi-tinker
      @mi-tinker  3 года назад +1

      Thanks for the question. If it is hard water build up you might try spraying a product that breaks up lime such as white vinegar. A friend of mine, who has fixed more faucets than I have, said she sprays the nut with with white vinegar and wraps it tight in a plastic bag overnight. This lets the vinegar dissolve/ break up some of the build up and should make it easier to remove. Good luck!

      @mi-tinker  3 года назад

      Thanks for watching! Old worn out cartridges/ washers will cause the dripping even when the faucet is turned off. Mine was about 18 years old. So if you have dripping and the faucet has some age to it, then it’s probably time to replace. 😊
