What happens here

This project details how to repair a leaking outdoor faucet (hose bib) by replacing the worn-out washer and potentially the packing material. It involves disassembling the faucet stem, replacing the internal components, and reassembling, with an emphasis on proper sealing and not overtightening.

Boom. You want to use a backup. Unscrew this packing nut here. Why do you not want to come out of there? We're going to pop some packing off. I might have been able to twist it, but honestly, I don't really want to break something. Don't want to pop this out of here. If you look at that right there, that's the exact size. It's definitely worn down. This piece we can go back in here. We got that all hooked up in there. Two wraps around there with our packing material. Let's grab our packing nut here. We're not going to overtighten this because it is a packing nut, and you can still adjust it in a little bit. We'll open it up, and we'll go turn the water back on.
