Reassemble and Tighten Faucet Spout

What happens here

After lubricating, align the spout with the faucet base and gently slide it back into place. Ensure it seats correctly. To prevent future looseness and leaks, the spout needs to be tightened. Use a strap wrench around the base of the spout to firmly tighten it. This tool is ideal as it provides a strong grip without scratching the polished finish of the faucet. Hand-tighten as much as possible first, then use the strap wrench for the final snugging.

Goal: Carefully slide the lubricated spout back onto the faucet base and securely tighten it using a strap wrench to ensure a snug fit without damaging the finish.
