Question on the centering cone piece. Is that threaded to bite down on the valve stem opening to maintain center and hold the tool in place somewhat?

That part just gets pushed up to the opening to hold the reseating part in the center and to hold it perpendicular to the seat.

On a 100 years old building plumbing is common problem..finding parts also..reseating seems the best option

Yeah, I don't even know if they make these stems anymore. The re-seating was easy but I was lucky to be able to get the rusted bolt out for a washer replacement. Still easier and less wasteful (and cheaper if hiring it out) than replacing the whole thing.

I used the reseating tool and my faucet still leaks.

[@toolsandrepairs]

Did you replace the washer on the stem? If the washer is rotted, it won't make a good seal with the seat.

@toolsandrepairs Yes, I did. I have to replace the washers often to slow the leak.
