    Your video is the only one I could find with the upper bearing kit, the 'broken' crown piece. When I took it apart it fell out and wasn't sure where it went. Mine came with a small gauge O ring and the same O ring came with the new parts. Your install didn't have the O ring around the bearing kit and mine wouldn't go together with it in place...Thanks to your video, I seen the error of my ways and I corrected it so thanks, I subbed..

    I needed new O rings for my Moen faucet for quite a long time. I replaced the cartridge 6 months ago but it kept leaking the same place yours is. I called them last week to order the O rings. I got them the other day but they didn't send instructions, so I watched your video here and did it as you did. It was effortless. Thanks so much for posting this.

    Excellent Thank you! Great Video, calm instruction, music not to load and didn't cause me to move on. I was successfully able to disassemble and reassemble my Moen kitchen faucet based on your video. I got my parts based on the year I purchased the house. Customer service will help you determine the model based on year of last install and after you take a picture and send to them. Thank goodness because I had the wrong model. Used White Vinegar to dissolve the loosen all the water mineral deposits. Had to let it sit for a few minutes.

      Look under the sink for label sticker like I did. I had no receipt. They just asked about when and where I got it from. Make sure you mention the store that carried your model. Lowes usually carried most models so it’s probably safe to mention it if you don’t remember. :-)

    • @DIYLifeSkills
      @DIYLifeSkills  2 роки тому

      Can you describe in detail how far you’ve gotten to? Did you remove the black round plastic ring that holds the sprout (faucet outlet)?

    • @DIYLifeSkills
      @DIYLifeSkills  2 роки тому

      Also the rubber O-rings seal the base of the faucet pretty tight to prevent leak so it does take some force to pull the base out.

    • @DIYLifeSkills
      @DIYLifeSkills  2 роки тому

      Spraying some WD40 or penetrating oil around where the o-rings are and let it soak fore few minutes will help loosen the base so that you can lift up on it.
      The metal base is sealed with rubber o-rings so I doubt that it’s siezed. If your faucet is already leaking and either needs repair or replacement, then in the worst case you’ll break it and have to replace it. But I think if you oil it and just put more strength, it’ll wiggle out.
      Let me know how it goes.
