    Exactly the fault. Exactly the fix. I remember asking the bathroom fitter for an old-fashioned rubber plug for the sink just because I knew this would happen - 4 years later it did. Thanks for helping me fix it. -Tom, UK.

    Thank you for taking the time to walk us through this, I was uncertain about turning the top part but you encouraged us. needed to pull out the popper and clean out the yuckky hair, but no popper disassembly required this time. However, I now feel confident that I will be able to do that when necessary. Super that you cared enough to share.

    Fantastic, you are the only one on uTube to show how to disassemble the piston and clear it, lubricate it, before replacing it. The Villeroy & Boch vanity sink we had, you couldn't buy a replacement piston that fitted, except in a whole new pop up unit. My husband followed your instructions and now we have a pop up piston and sink, working perfectly....thank you thank you :)

    Thank you SO MUCH for this. Mine is only a year old but it got stuck because we have very hard water here and the mineral deposits make things seize up. I needed to know how to take mine apart and get it working again. I used marine grease in mine -- meant to work in wet environments. Also had to clean the parts with vinegar -- I had to use pliers to twist the piston apart! Now it works great and looks like new again.

    BTW, I wasn't even able to get the column out with a wrench, but that's ok!

    @kimlimfong9381 2 роки тому +2

    Thank you for the super helpful instructions! Was nervous about this, but your steps explain it very clearly - managed to get the shaft out but when I replaced the clip it doesn't seem to catch. Meaning even when I press the cap down it won't stay down. The screw is rusted so I can't even open it up to check. Seems like a new one is probably going to be the solution but it's always good to understand how these things work ;)

    • @naomip7883
      @naomip7883 Рік тому +1

      Hi Kim, I just bought the whole shaft mechanism from local hardware store for $7, so once the cap was off, could just remove the shaft and replace with the new one. Super easy. Hope it helps.

    Mine was really jammed. After unscrewing and removing it from the drain pipe, to dislodge the insert I put a narrow hex key into the hole in the bottom of the housing and gently hammered on it to push the insert out from the inside. I used a pencil with sandpaper rolled around it to smooth out the inside of the housing so the insert could move freely when inserted. Thank you for the helpful video!

    Thank you! The instructions worked well. I found that it also helps to remove any standing water with a sponge and get the sink and stopper really dry. Helps you to get more traction on the stopper when turning left. Also, the video instruction for disassembly of the piston is out of view. For putting all parts back together, common sense guides you to assemble it in reverse order, but a close up of how the pieces fit back together would be helpful. I removed a second working stopper I have to see how it looked. Again, the video was super helpful and saved me the cost of a plumber as well as possibly purchasing a new piston. Thank you!!

    I was soooo hopeful untill I got to the part where the screw came out and you're saying "now this should be able to come apart no problem". But yes, there is my problem. No matter what I try, it does NOT come apart. Not even moving a little bit. Not after WD40 lubrication stuff, not even after anti-limescale. Crying my eyeballs out, because I would be the hero today hahaha.
