Two-Handle Kitchen Sink Faucet Leak Repair
What happens here
After removing the handle, use a 6-in-1 screwdriver to unscrew and remove the small screw holding the decorative cap in place. Once the screw is out, lift the decorative cap off the faucet. Next, use an adjustable wrench (adjustable jaw) to loosen the larger hexagonal packing nut (sometimes called a bonnet nut) that secures the faucet stem/cartridge. Once loosened, carefully remove the packing nut and then pull the entire old cartridge (stem) out of the faucet body.
Goal: Access and remove the internal faucet stem components.
