Replacing a faucet neck

 Okay, say the neck of your faucet is broken. It's cracked, and it's leaking water in operation from somewhere around the joint here. The neck, something's going crazy, and this is a faucet where you can actually buy parts and you just want to replace this neck. What you'll do is you'll take off this screw right here.

I've already pretty loosened it, but you take this off, there's a little washer in there, so keep that safe. Set it off the side. There's a Teflon nut here. We'll set that off to the side. And then this, you just have a little tug and you can take this piece completely off. These can be replaced, but if it's leaking around this neck area, you can also check these washers.

Uh, there's a washer here and there's a washer down here below. Um, all of these I like to. Push to one side, you can see how it's expanding. Uh, then I can get my fingers on it and pull that washer up if I need to. But lemme see it again there. You would replace this, put the new one, or get the new one situated.

And then the same thing, you just, you just work backwards. So you push that down until it is all the way down. You put your Teflon nut back on, you take this, screw that back on and you wanna make sure that's tight. Put some, put a rag over it, grab some channel locks. It's hard to do one handed, but, and then.

Tighten it down because you do not want to tear up the finish on this, so make sure before you really ratchet it down that you've got a cover on here or something to protect the finish of this. So I'm gonna tighten that up now.
