What happens here

Once the internal valve assembly is pulled out, inspect the condition of the rubber washer at the end. The video notes it is 'looking a little shot,' indicating it is worn out. Locate the screw that holds this washer in place. This particular screw can be long and sometimes difficult to remove due to corrosion or wear. Carefully remove the old, worn washer and its accompanying screw.

Tools and materials

  • Screwdriver — Removing the screw holding the washer (if not too long or stuck)
  • Old Flat Bib Washer — The worn component being replaced
  • Old Screw — The screw holding the washer, being replaced with a new one
