What happens here

Identify that the hose bib is a frost-free model made by Arrowhead Brass. To disassemble, grab two large adjustable jaw wrenches. Position one wrench on the main body of the hose bib to act as a backup, preventing the entire unit from rotating and damaging the plumbing connections inside the wall. Use the second adjustable jaw wrench to unscrew the larger 'back nut' located behind the hose bib's handle, closer to the wall. Do not attempt to unscrew the smaller 'packing nut'. Once the back nut is loose, the entire internal stem assembly, including the handle, should be able to spin out and be pulled completely out of the hose bib body.

Goal: Access the internal components of the hose bib to replace the washer.

and hit this with the meter key. Can pop this off? This right here is a frost-free hose bit made by Arrowhead Brass. Let's grab a couple big adjustable jaw wrenches. Get one going for the back up. We're not gonna unscrew the packing nut. We're actually gonna unscrew the back nut and get this apart. They should just spin out. Pull that out of there. We should be able to just replace this washer right here. Oh yeah, that came out like butter.
