What happens here

Before attempting any repairs, ensure the main water supply to your house is shut off. Locate the water meter, typically found in an underground box near the street or property line. Insert a meter key into the shut-off valve at the meter and turn it to stop the flow of water to the entire house, including the outdoor hose bib.

Goal: Prevent water flow to the hose bib during the repair process.

We're actually gonna unscrew the back nut
