    Thanks so much Bill! I tried to tighten the nut on mine with no joy so called a plumber. He wanted to charge $120 to tighten a bloody nut! I told him to get stuffed lol. Decided to see if you had a video showing what tool I need and sure enough you’ve come to the rescue again. I’ve now ordered some tube spanners and will fix it myself.
    You don’t happen to know how to get a really old egg stain out of carpet do you? An egg got dropped and went unnoticed for a bit. Get chickens they said. It’ll be fun they said 😂😂😂
