WATER WON'T COME OUT!...EASY Fix for a Outdoor Water Faucet!

What happens here

With the water supply off and the system drained, use an adjustable jaw wrench to grab the large nut or hex fitting on the spigot body, typically located behind the handle. Turn counter-clockwise to loosen and unscrew the entire stem assembly from the spigot. Gently pull the stem out from the wall. Some residual water may dribble out, which is normal.

Goal: Use an adjustable wrench to carefully loosen and remove the stem assembly from the frost-free spigot body.
