Perfect video. Every other one was 10 min for no reason. This is exactly what I needed

[@simplysanovia5597]

Today you are truly my hero I almost wanna cry for having watched your video enabled me to change out my own stopper. I know it's simple but how empowered I feel because of it is unbelievable.

[@nicholasnicosia2325]

I spent weeks dealing with a partially clogged drain and just fixed it in 30 seconds. Thank you so much!

[@csxwin]

The most effective short video on RUclips! exactly what I need

[@Aray_Yaar]

You are a life saver. I dropped my gold chain by mistake in it. And I had no idea how to take that out. Watched many videos on RUclips, but no luck until I watched yours. And Voila!!! Got my chain back 🤗🙏

[@myplumbinghero8906]

[@Barquevious_Jackson]

You're the man. I could of called Management but thanks to you I'm just a little bit more capable and my sink drains like a charm now, better then ever, I should make this a habit.

[@Eyimofe-tl6xk]

First video I came across and it was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.❤️

[@srn_2268]

Thank you!!! I got my sink back to normal and didn’t want to bother my maintenance people over something I could do myself 💪🏼

[@pulley52]

The best video I found to get this done! I just wanted to remove this stopper and NOT replace it & you showed me how easy it was! Rest of the videos out there were too confusing!! Thanks so much!

[@dynastiebless-rl8tg]

Thank you it s been 2 years i was miserable with my sink...😂 you saved my life!🎉

[@charliecorleon]

You have the best kind of sink that’s easy to repair without bumping you head or removing a pedestal

[@DMLOEWER]

Good camera angles and very helpful showing every step. Sometimes it's the simple things..

[@lorehoward9405]

[@shastaw]

You’re a legend bro. Exactly what I needed. And very efficient

[@saintinlower48]

Thank you so so much for not giving me a 10 minute video! I thought this was the answer but I was afraid water was going to come spilling out. Thank you 🎉🎉🎉

[@myplumbinghero8906]

Glad I could help!

[@melissapayne7402]

Thank you for the video. Its exaclty what I was looking for. Something I have been wanting to do for a while and never got to it. I figured it would be a long and hard process. I got it done as I was making lunch, I did exactly what you did and solved a few problems I was having. Loved the fact the video was short and sweet and got to the point. Thank you a million times over

[@myplumbinghero8906]

Glad I could help!

[@rlgladney]

Ha ha ha THANK YOU!!! Literally took me 1min after months of being frustrated

[@shirleydiaz2013]

Thank you so much 🙏 I'm another single mother. I didn't have any clue about how to make it. I was so frustrated. Thank you for your video!

[@myplumbinghero8906]

You are so welcome!

[@subhanrahimli1449]

Amazing. Thank you so much. It was helped a lot.

[@RUPA2126]

You save me today 😢❤❤ Thank you so much

[@myplumbinghero8906]

You're welcome 😊

[@SmileyKiley30]

I figured this out on my sink drains after getting pissed off and realizing something was holding them down so I looked underneath sink and saw this. I don’t know who would make such a drain, to me it’s ridiculous. I’m curious if they make plugs for that extra hole in the drain pipe if you wanted to put a different stopper in that’s not connected. Thanks for posting.

[@franka7375]

Thanks for the video ! It helped me a lot 🙏

[@myplumbinghero8906]

Glad it helped!

[@kenbarbour3841]

Perfect. Saved me a bunch of headaches. Awesome video

[@mrmdsuggs]

Thanks for this. I have the exact same widespread faucet in this video. Any tips on removing the cartridge on the hot water side? I removed the cap, but the screw inside is very hard to turn. Any insight is appreciated.

[@amadyan7539]

I been planning to fix it for more than 2 months and scared to take everything down to see why it’s stuck lol . Thank you so much for saving my life 😅

[@JB-hy1qc]

Thanks, from Kentucky worked just as you demonstrated.

[@shirleyruffles3929]

Thank you so much!!!! So helpful. I appreciate that it was concise and to the point!

[@brianhemorrhage]

Best video to the point and educational for everyone, thank you sir! Also you look a lot like JK Simmons 😂

[@todaysits]

Thank you! Any tips on removing the cold water faucet to replace the plunger? I can’t get that silver base off.

[@Dareisy-cb9ij]

That actually worked for me. I had that little thing under the sink. And it was like stuck in there like literally plunged in there. And there was no way to get it out so I opened it. I grabbed a makeup brush. I put the makeup brush in the hole. And I started touching it because I could feel it and I pulled it up and it worked

[@roylara4831]

Super helpful bro, thanks a bunch! 🙏🏼

[@myplumbinghero8906]

Happy to help!

I’m fairly certain this video saved me a call to the plumber! Thank you!!!

[@myplumbinghero8906]

Glad I could help!

[@NoMiddleName2]

2 questions:
First: how do I remove the bottom of the sink so that I can access the mechanisms?
Second: do I need to turn off my mains water supply before attempting this?

[@Mojo32]

No you don't need ro turn off water supply to remove the drain stopper as shown in this video.
Which mechanisms are you referring to? Something different than what he shows in this video?

[@-mugasp-7543]

Thanks, amazing video!

[@KisDraga]

Thank you! I was on the verge if yanking the entire sink feom the wall I was getting so frustrated

[@dianalucerolassocastelblan9072]

Legend! Thank you so much

[@maddiem2460]

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!!!

[@therelentlessspartan3876]

How do you put it back? Does the pin fit automatically into the slot?

[@myplumbinghero8906]

You have to thread the tip of the pin in to the loop at the bottom of the pop up as you re-insert both in the drain.

[@zackphong1406]

Thank you so much

[@5MadMovieMakers]

[@w0w603]

[@V0IDHOLE]

[@cottonhiker]

Why can’t all videos be this quick and easy

[@cyn2612]

Does the main water need to be turned off throughout the house?

[@myplumbinghero8906]

Nope

[@nyettealexander4135]

Thanks you sooo much❤

[@jamesbrockey4871]

DANG,your MR PLUMBER!!!

[@selenafluker7406]

Thank you!!!! I can do this!!🎉

[@jawarablake]

You are wonderful. Thank you

[@joeford8789]

But now your sink is vulnerable to things falling in there. How do I know? Because it happened to me.

[@chriswazlawik3735]

but you have to put a new one or not?

[@NuckFamily]

My Hero! Thank you!

[@ajc1233]

Thank u. Fixed it!

[@RoboSeal1]

Mine is rusted on, penetrating oil?

[@ahmedsalim2494]

Thank you so much!

[@chatslady6834]

[@lathamarea1437]

the trick is to get the pop up lined back up, it's all by feel..

[@BisanYasin]

Thank you I didn’t wanna get yelled at from my mom cuz I clogged my sink😅

[@bsrdomains3804]

Perfect. Thanks

[@OsunaFabrication]

Thanks bro!

[@scorpioreign1115]

Thank you!

[@Dells16]

Thank you good sir 🙏

[@nnekauzoechina7607]

But mine is an enclosed. So i cant get under to fix it .

[@barrynzay]

Remember to leave the ball in even if you take the dropper out.

[@janew3634]

Thank you, sir.

[@janew3634]

Do you have to pull hard at the bottom? I'm scared.

[@myplumbinghero8906]

You may have to wiggle the rod out of the back, but if you have you force it, stop and be prepared to replace or call a pro.

[@zwisterias]

please tell me how to remove that thing but not from below the sink.. i quite literally lost my ring in the sink but i dont know how to remove the whole thing 😔

[@myplumbinghero8906]

Could you send a pic and I can try to help?

[@lyflaf2533]

theses manuf should just stick to screw cap type plug.its ridiculous to hv to reach under sink now

[@Someone_VIP]

Goat!

[@Rileythach]

but how do we put it back in

[@myplumbinghero8906]

The same way you took it out. Insert the rod horizontally in through the backside of the drain, and into the loop of the pop-up when reassembling.

[@salmondo3451]

Gracias 😃

[@petercraig389]

NOW drop the stopper back in and it still works. Only need to lock it in there if it's a sink in a restaurant and you don't want it stolen.
