My daughter followed this video today and got my faucet working perfectly again. Thank you!!

[@HacksbyDad]

You’re welcome! Glad to hear it. 👍😎

[@238mitzi]

Excellent videohas been the vest one so far. No one else has gone enough depth.

[@HacksbyDad]

Thank you! 👍😎

[@cottagefarmflowers]

Oh my god I do this too! I figure it's broken already so why not take it apart and see how it works. Sometimes like you I've actually fixed things! Glad I found a kindred spirit.

[@HacksbyDad]

Nice to meet you! 😎

[@GordonWatson-il6lt]

Excellent inspirational video. Concise and to the point.

[@HacksbyDad]

Inspirational?! No one has described my videos as inspirational before. Thanks! 😎

[@jaycullen9901]

Brilliant work! Nice attention to detail (food safe silicone grease, vinegar, cautions about o-rings, etc.).

[@HacksbyDad]

Thanks… much appreciated! 😎

[@colinm1325]

Thanks for the great vids👍🖖👏✌️

[@tonyvain100]

Just what I was looking for. Great video. Thank you.

[@HacksbyDad]

[@robertrlkatz6890]

What a great job and so to the point. Thank you so much! You are a Pro RUclips Video Maker very impressed!

[@HacksbyDad]

Thanks! Not sure about the Pro RUclips video maker, but I'll take it. LOL

[@Ekocart1]

Great work 👍

[@HacksbyDad]

Thanks! Much appreciated! 😎

[@markaes]

Thanks, needed this! I didn't realize I could just pull the buttons off to slide out the internals and fix the valve. Now its greased up and works like new.

[@HacksbyDad]

👍😎

[@gordonreimer2169]

Well done! Clear. Pointed. Helpful.

[@HacksbyDad]

👍😎

[@cgyang]

This breakdown was very easy to follow. Thank-you

[@HacksbyDad]

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback back. 😎

[@incinerator5861]

I just tore mine apart. Normally i just soak the whole thing in vinegar but I wanted to check the internals. Pretty clean inside, thanks for the Vid.

[@HacksbyDad]

You’re welcome! Thanks for the feedback! 😎

[@trekkiejunk]

Here's my problem.... i would have no problem taking that apart and cleaning it. But i guarantee i would forget how to put that thing back together.

[@sqqqrly]

A set of reamers for carburetors works wonders for cleaning small openings in faucets. It is ~20 stainless wires of varying gauge useful to clean orifices. The set is inexpensive. Nice vid!

[@HacksbyDad]

You’re welcome and thanks for the tip! 😎

[@alansanders5553]

Thanks for the great video. You saved me alot

[@HacksbyDad]

You’re welcome! 😎

[@signalcorpsproductions4234]

Excellent!

[@jerrycleveland2812]

One comment: My Simplice sprayer has a different design requiring a pin scanner wrench to unthread the diffuser end. A pair of needle-nose pliers work well to disassemble and then re-assemble the sprayer. A soak overnight in white vinegar and then some clean with an old toothbrush, cotton swabs, and toothpicks cleaned everything up. No parts needed replacement. My sprayer works like new now, not like the ten years old that it is.

[@izzonj]

Thanks man, saved me $40 to replace!

[@HacksbyDad]

👍😎

[@trench01]

instead of dismantling how about just putting it all in vinegar and see how far that goes
its always more than interesting to see how things work since one understand the physics of things around them to get a general estimate if things are easily enough to fix.
Just like how some people throw out a $1000 lawn mower and all was needed was the carburetor clean. A powerful pc and all that was needed was a reinstallation of os. Or a Fridge and all is needed is a $10 component for a $1000 fridge.

[@HacksbyDad]

Thanks! Yup… it’s more fun to take things apart. 😎

[@ifell3]

Awesome

[@HacksbyDad]

Thanks! 😎

[@rt.1292]

Thank you. Having same problem. I called. Kohler & they sent me free nozzle replacement but same thing happened again even with soaking in vinegar as they suggested

[@HacksbyDad]

👍😎

[@georgele872]

Awesome . I lowe the video

[@HacksbyDad]

Thanks! 😎

[@bobd5119]

Excellent video!
Those spouts are too complicated.
At 0:14, you show your wrench grasping the aerator, presumably on two flats. My faucet's aerator has no flats. (Model 596-CP). I bought the faucet less than two weeks ago, in Nashua, NH.

[@HacksbyDad]

Thanks! Mine luckily had the wrench flats. I think most of Kohler’s new aerators need a key for installation and removal. 😎

[@JerryWells-dm3uc]

I have kohler k598 spray head what tool will disasemble only one I;ve found is to small

[@HacksbyDad]

Sorry... I don't know. 🤷🏻‍♂

[@vincepolera1962]

No disassemble Johnny 5!

[@drpen3905]

0:20 bro, how the hell did you get that off? It's slippery as all can be

[@HacksbyDad]

Not sure. Mine unscrewed without any issues. 🤷🏻‍♂

[@GolfNut]

Why don’t you just call Kohler and they will replace it free of charge. They have replaced mine three times. Right now they are sending me a new replacement hose with the sprayer free.
You should not have to do what you are doing and it still has a chance of not working right. And the cost.

[@HacksbyDad]

Thanks for the tip!
I actually enjoy taking things apart and fixing them if possible. 😎

[@brianburgess3231]

but ... but ... but, your old! .. that by itself makes any, intelligence, knowledge, and/or experience you have irrelevant .. because, hey! .. this is the new generation you just simply don't understand anything!

[@HacksbyDad]

Thanks… I think. 🤷🏻‍♂️😎
