In today's episode we find ourselves dealing with a common sink problem. What do you do when the stopper does not come up anymore? There is a good chance that the peg that holds the stopper has broken off. In older sinks this ball and rod are fitted with a plastic tip. These plastic tips get brittle and can break off over time.
You can certainly replace the entire drain assembly, but this is time consuming, expensive and we often are in a hurry... soooo...
This is an easy universal ball and rod assembly kit that can be fitted on most sinks to help you pop the stopper! If you find this video helpful, please like and subscribe to our channel. It helps us out and allows us to get more great content out faster!

I know it's hard enough for non handy folks , so I have a great time saving tip with a marker or a good memory see what hole the rod is currently in before taking it apart. That's just the only one I got ........Sides get sore so extra cushion is nice for us older folks, the only way to go.

I've seen like 20 of these.. This is my favorite... I haven't unscrewed the nut off the pipe yet.. All I know is my stopper just lays in the sink and when i pull the thingy up and down nothing happens,lol

Thanks so much for taking the time to show how to replace a new ball rod. It's very much appreciated! 😊

Thank you so much for explaining the length of the rod to stopper and to face the notched backend to the rod for locked stopper... i was doing it the opposite way and it was driving me nuts! your video saved me!

Thanks for the top on the stopper end. I didn't realize I could put it sideways to the ball rod like that, and then able to pull it out for cleaning. Great tip.

I have needed this fixed several times. Great job

[@juliehatch9861]

What if I did exactly what you are doing, except it leaks at the area where the ball is attached?

[@user-fv6lu4xk4t]

much more detailed than other instructors thank you

[@crzytarau]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video - it was very helpful and made changing out the ball rod assembly so easy! 😊

[@hollypatrick1050]

thanks but the gaset/gromet is curved to face the ball for people who have it and comes out with the ball easily so you need to watch for it and check it anyway when its apart

[@juliehatch9861]
