Doing The Work Is The Best Way To Learn...We changed Some Hard Angle-Stops!

What happens here

For the second angle stop, the working conditions are much more challenging due to the confined space of the vanity. The same steps for removal (using the angle stop wrench and puller) and installation (applying dope, tightening) apply. However, extra care is needed to avoid cross-threading and to achieve proper torque. The video demonstrates using a regular adjustable wrench for removal, highlighting its difficulty. For installation, a small ratchet or the specialized angle stop wrench is preferred due to space constraints. A small towel or jacket can be used to cushion the worker's body in tight spaces.

Goal: Repeat the removal and installation process for the second angle stop, navigating the challenges of a confined work area within the vanity.

and he gets to do it in the fun space like right there's there's not a lot of space there not a lot of space yeah okay first thing you got to do yep okay so that one is a little bit tricky right because you're looking at that and that actually is not a 3 8 so you can still use that other side of the wrench but you're going to have to reach behind you over there and you're going to have to grab an adjustable jaw so i'd grab that big yellow one that's probably going to help you out yeah so one thing that might help is try to actually turn the valve body instead okay right so hold that nut in the back and then just try to actually crank that body over to the left instead perfecto [Music] oh yeah i say sometimes people put these things on way too tight and a nice plumber's trick right when you're working in a tight space and you need something your jacket a towel something some kind of cushion to alleviate this from killing your ribs is great all right and so now damian's gonna have a crack at the old english tool right and just see how well this tool puller works for him he says he's used the other one so let's just see if he thinks this is a little bit better for him not a lot of space so that's the nice thing about this right here you want to switch to the other one and try that right just about twisting and like it's definitely a little bit more brutal [Music] i'm sorry now you're okay don't worry about that dude i know does it look like it's coming off straight
