Wow. You have done such an excellent walk through on this repair. Thanks for posting this. I found it very, very useful. I couldn't give 100 likes, but it's worth that ❤
Thank I am humbled 🙏 I appreciate you.
Having owned four residences, I learned do do this repair myself. This is only vid I could find that demonstrates the entire faucet stem repair procedure and it is going to my apartment manager with a maintenance request for faucet repairs.
👍I appreciate you 🙏
Excellent intro to shopping for faucet plumbing parts
Thank you. I appreciate your nice comment🙏
Thank you for this tutorial. I had a plumber last year to fix my leak now the leak is back. Now I know why they should have changed the seat. I learned so much from you. Now I know what to tell them. TFS
Awesome. Thank you
for your support 🙏☺️ by the way love your RUclips channel. New subscribe 👍
great video...he also shows the prices of the tools you need to use..
Thank you for being so supportive. I appreciate you.
Thanks great job is detailed enough to get through this on your own!
Nice. I appreciate 🙏 you
Great job brother! I love the way you walked the viewer through every step, even though you weren't replacing a couple of the parts. Very well done. I have a question for you. What do you charge to do something like this. What would I expect to pay? And what would be considered "gouging" if I had a plumber give me an estimate? Thank you in advance. God bless
I appreciate your support🙏 a flat rate on a job like this. Last time I checked was about 5 or 6 years ago . Some where around 🤧🤧$375.00 😖not sure how much know. good question.
@@theartofplumbing Ok, great. Thank you again. I'll definitely pass your video along to those I know could use it. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you
I always replace both seats, and washers. Thanks for video
that's always the best idea
Good vid. Including the shopping for parts. Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful! RUclips stated that product link it helps a lot. I love it.
I have the same exact shower. If you get this, my faucet is leaking. I don’t know how to take the faucet off and replace it. Can you maybe do another video on how to replace the faucet. Also the shower is not working. I will probably need a plumber cause the only way for this to get fixed is to put a hole through the wall that’s in back of the shower. Really stinks. Thanks for the video. Wish you were here. 😊🙏
Just like we do it over here! :) Great video my friend!
Thank you guys👍👍👍
good info.
Thank you...
Great job.. Thank you.
I very much appreciate your comment

Is there a way to convert a standard 2 handle roman tub faucet into a single handle so there's a spout, sprayer and just one handle for both hot/cold water?
i've been replacing the rubber washer on the hot side every year because the part of the stem that holds the rubber washer in place is broken off, so the washer goes bad quicker. Can I replace the handles, the stems and the seats on a 2-handle shower? Are the threads and hole size for the seats a universal? I can't find replacement stems at Home Depot, Lowes or TruValue.
How do u get the stem removed from the divertor in the middle mine is stuck and I can't get it loose and it needs to be changed so we can use the shower
The same way, but you have to twist it out.
No plumbers grease? Maybe you don’t need it in your area. Those valves and seats seemed like they came out very easy
Hey How to Plumbing! Great video, Im currently repairing my leaky shower and have fully replaced my cold faucet stem and got a brand new seat...When I turn the water back on the shower doesn't leak however as soon as i've run the water for a shower or just to test..when i turn the water back off it starts to drip leak. It's alot better than it was before but why do you think it could still be leaking after i've tested it?
Good job!!!
Thank you👍
Thank you
Do we still need to turn the water off when replacing the faucet stems? And if so, just for clarity, are you turning the water back on(and the hot water heater) (after you turned it off), to release any autism pressure?
Yes and yes 😉
I replaced the diverter and now it doesn’t go from tub to shower mode. I checked for any corrosion in the hole and everything.
seems easier to buy a whole replacement kit that comes with new everything for 35 bucks
true
I can't get the seat out, it's completely chewed up and stripped. What's would be the next step
Hello! Where can I buy the shower handle puller tool? Can you send a link?
Here you go. Thanks for reminding me. 🙏I'm thinking of buying this from Lowe's. Any recommendations? www.lowes.com/pd/Superior-Tool-Faucet-Handle-Puller/5013483601
@@theartofplumbing Thank you! :)
Did u recaulk the eskutching
Yep
I put pipe dope on the threads of the seat
Nothing wrong with that 👍
👍👍👍👌👌👌✌️✌️✌️!!!
Thanks I appreciate you. 🙏
Drain the system by opening a hose outside, dah!
Yes that's right, but also turn the hot water heater off to keep hot water from siphoning out from the water heater keeping water draining from any faucet that is open opening.

I can’t get my handles off , I tried everything.
Hi, thanks for watching my video on how to remove a stuck faucet handle. I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your faucet handle. Sometimes, the handle can be very hard to remove because of corrosion, mineral deposits, or a stripped screw. Here are some tips that might help you:
Before you try to remove the handle, make sure you turn off the water supply under the sink or at the main valve. This will prevent any water damage or leaks if something goes wrong.
If the handle has a decorative cap or cover, you need to pry it off with a flathead screwdriver or a knife. Be careful not to scratch or damage the finish of the faucet.
Once you expose the screw that holds the handle in place, you need to loosen it with an Allen wrench or a Phillips screwdriver, depending on the type of screw. If the screw is stuck, you can spray some penetrating oil or lubricant on it and wait for a few minutes. Then, try to unscrew it again with more force.
If the screw comes off but the handle is still stuck, you can try to wiggle it back and forth or pull it up and down to break it loose. You can also use a wrench or pliers to gently twist and pull the handle, but be careful not to damage the valve stem or the faucet body.
If none of these methods work, you might need to use a special tool called a faucet handle puller. This tool can grip the handle and apply even pressure to pull it off without damaging the faucet. You can buy this tool online or at your local hardware store. How to use a faucet handle puller shows you how to use this tool step by step.
After you remove the handle, you can inspect and clean the faucet for any dirt or debris. You can also replace the cartridge or the valve stem if they are worn out or damaged. How to Change a Faucet Cartridge shows you how to do this easily.
Finally, you can reassemble the faucet handle with a new one or the old one if it is still in good condition. Make sure you tighten the screw securely and test the faucet for any leaks.
I hope this helps you fix your faucet problem. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below and I’ll try to answer them as soon as possible.
