just what i needed - feels like it's getting harder to find the videos we're looking for on youtube!

[@xyan3191]

thanks for the clear instructions and video. About to attempt this later today, ill update and let you know how it went

[@cathyo4764]

I've just bought a new washing machine, had the guys install it and one of the taps is leaking. Only been here a month. Thank you for explaining the process. Rather than ask the agent to get someone in, I think I'll do it myself. Just need to buy some tools to do it.

[@miboogaroo]

Thank you. Its good to have easy to follow instructions showing exactly whats needed.

Good info bill 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hey mate, long time sub here! Love the vids. I just noticed how you use your adjustable wrench when you were loosening the tap, no biggie but if that was really tight, chances are you would have slipped due to wrench was facing the other way. You should always point the adjustable side on where your turning just like when you were tightening the tap. Keep it up mate

[@billshowto]

I have never had that happen before, now that you mention it I’ll probably slip the next time lol 👍👍👍

[@Peetezilla]

🤣🤣🤣

[@krispynachos9980]

Mate, this looks easy as piss. I'm gonna give it a try.

[@WendywdjnyJ]

[@smiksabaiton3228]

[@fourbypete]

I don't have time to read comments but perhaps no one mentioned that the spindle has a rubber o ring that should be replaced too.

[@jbosco3970]

Any thoughts on how to recover a tap washer stuck inside

[@dharmindersingh3760]

Thanks for the video very helpful 😊

[@dianereeves2619]

Awesome thank you heaps 👏🏼😍

[@MsMeowD]

I’ve just noticed my hot water tap on my washing machine is leaking. Should the washers be a standard size. Aussie here too.

[@billshowto]

Standard size👍

[@MidnightPursuit]

Did you do the exhaust fan video bruv?

[@loriAlessiroberts118]

Hi any advice on how to loosen these taps mine are identical and I cant turn them. Thank you

[@shogunrua1040]

Thank you

[@guitarTennisCarHomeFixFlying]

Nice

[@magyaradam]

What did you tighten before you put on the handles again?

[@tassie7325]

Do they no longer have hot and cold tap washers?

[@jodyramsay8472]

Do we need plumbers tape and grease on thread?

[@MicroGuy89]

@Billshowto how do you remove a wall tap spindle that's stuck? It hasn't been removed in a while

[@billshowto]

Multi grips 👍👍👍

[@MicroGuy89]

@billshowto Any brands do you recommend? Do I need to apply WD40?

[@billshowto]

⁠no wd40 and any brand will do. The multi grips will allow you to bite onto the spindle with leverage to undo it

[@as7736]

Thanks

[@TheRealMrCods]

Top stuff 👍

[@hentertainment233]

1:55 everytime I move it. The entire thing moves on the wall. No way to seperate?

[@TS-yd6cn]

Same here, on a very old tap. I could see a red fibre washer cemented between the parts and there was no budging it, for me - gave up and bought a new fitting.

[@Ponot2u]

I probably would have done the seatings as well

[@russelblackwell6041]

Quality in the tap washer helps those cheap plastic crap

[@TapelessDrywallFinishing]

👍👍👍

[@tonywrigley5174]

It pays to turn the taps fully on before you start, especially when you reinstall the tap body!

[@dougscott170]

"That'll be $1,200 + GST, thanks."

[@sjin8896]

Don’t you hate it when your tap dips!

[@thelogician1934]

u didn't change the 4 O rings.

[@shrutibagde573]

[@TheRealMrCods]

lolz

[@saxgrrrl]

Thanks, really helpful and proud I did change the washer myself but the tap really needs to be turned off tight to stop dripping - too tight for kids and elders to manage. Grateful if you can advise my next step?

[@samilucille1]

Thanks this is very helpful 😊
