Thank you Mr .Scott for your video. It was very informative and here four years later you’ve helped me save time and money. I hope this message reaches you kind sir. Many blessings to you and your family and once again thank you!
The best part for me was you showed how to remove the crown ring. Moen sent me a new faucet body because my hose was not retracting enough and the receiving end at the top was very worn out. They thought replacing that would help with the second weight they sent. But no instructions on how to take this all apart to swap it out. You hit the jackpot! Thanks much Ron! You ROCK!!!🎸🕺🎺
I found this video to be extremely helpful a couple of years ago and I was very happy to find it again today when I needed it. Thank you for posting this, it's a lifesaver
Thank you so much! I had trouble finding any videos with detailed instructions for a Moen kitchen faucet until I found this one. This video was exactly what I needed. It works like new!
Ron, thank you so much for the great step-by-step video. The hardest part was getting the little button off that shrouds the Allen nut on the handle. My faucet is now working like it was new again. Thank you.
Thanks, this helped me avoid a lot of unnecessary disassembly of the faucet. Unfortunately, despite having softened water, there was a significant amount of corrosion of the metal at the base of the “spout receptor.” Still, it moves back and forth much better after removing a lot of deposits and applying silicon grease.
With the money i saved using this fix, I can say internet paid for itself this month. Great explanation and video, worked like a charm on my Moen Tap. Thanks
Grrr I had totally disassembled my faucet then soaked everything I'm vinegar. Partially reassembled only to find it still didn't rotate/swivel well. Glad I found this video how to pop off the outer metal to find 15yr of calcium buildup, just wish I would have found it earlier. I guess I get a fully clean sink & as learning experience. Thank you for the video
Nice job, very helpful as I hadn't done this for a number of years. My corrosion and gunk was primarily at the bottom on the base, used vinegar and a brush to clean it up. Used lots of silicone lube to hopefully forestall new corrosion. I took the cartridge out, but it wasn't not necessary. I believe there is a lifetime warranty on these faucets, so if you registered with Moen, call, and they will send you the kit.
Ron, I hate to say this but I am hoping there are more plumbing and mechanical problems at your home. You did such a good job with this video I find myself wanting more similar content. Good Job!
Very helpful video, Ron. Thank you very much! I have a couple of complications - First, I haven't positively identified my model and I can't find the documentation that I normally keep for household appliances and fixtures, so I don't know exactly which O-ring set to get, but that may not be an issue because I have sets of O-rings covering a wide range of applications. I can always measure the parts and order suitable rings online if necessary. Second, my pull-out sprayer has been stuck in place for at least a couple of years. I focused on getting that un-stuck after watching your video, because obviously you can't replace the lower O-ring without detaching the sprayer hose. Fortunately I was able to do that after about 2 hours of various chemicals, tools, and strong language. I'm confident that I can get the job done without breaking anything now. My Moen faucet still looks good and functions well after at least 15 years of service, and I would hate to have to spend $600+ to replace it because I screwed up.
This worked for me on my 7560. Seeing how to remove the crown ring, at 1:25 in the video was very useful. For me the symptom was not rotational tightness. It was that the faucet came loose from the countertop. But in reality that was happening because of this hard to rotate problem. It caused the entire faucet to rotate, and thus the nut holding to the countertop would loosen.
Mine was the same! I started with videos to fix the wobble when I realized this was actually the case. The hardest part for me was to get the faucet to separate, the buildup was like glue! Going to town with sand paper did the trick and definitely saved me money by restoring the 5 year old faucet (not sure the model, but the construction was the same).
Thanks for the detailed instructions Mine works fine now. 2 years later, I had to do it again. I don't have silicone gel, just spray. Maybe that's why I had to repeat after 2 years or maybe my water is just too hard. In any case, thanks.
For anyone having trouble getting that crown ring back on ... Although this faucet looks just like mine, my crown ring is slightly different. The rubber o-ring goes around the outside of the ring (not the faucet body), and the open gap in the ring MUST be positioned towards the back of the faucet. I was EASILY able to set the crown ring using the cone to evenly press down on it, but the ring would not seat itself at all if its gap was facing anywhere but the back.
I have a Moen Walden kitchen sink faucet. I can get the airator out. It looks like it's a keyless model but the end of the faucet from the diagram I looked on bones website shows it's the threaded top. I put vinegar around the top in a bag to break down any corrosion but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick and CLR do the trick?
My Moen is nothing like that one.......mine is 1964 but takes standard 1225 cartridges which I've replaced, but the spout itself is so stiff I can barely turn it....anyone know where I can find a video on that?
You make it look TOO easy! LOL It took me 10 mins. just to get my stuck set screw out. I still can't just lift my handle off like you did. Corrosion might be the problem, though this Moen is about as old as yours, only mine is white in color. I've tried rocking it and brute force pulling upward. I guess the next step is to "use a bigger hammer" or call a plumber. UPDATE: Before I used a towel and a hammer to try and loosen that faucet top lever for removal I decided I had nothing to lose by squirting in some Liquid Wrench into the hole where the (finally) removed set screw was and under the handle towards the middle of the faucet. I let it set a few minutes, wiped away the Liquid Wrench that had drained to the inside bottom of the faucet and then discovered the faucet would rotate a little! I nudged it back and forth in wider and wider arcs until it was much easier to rotate. Problem solved! I never could get that dang set screw back in, despite cleaning it and being patient. I guess I nudged the handle up about 1/32" by pulling up on it, and now it won't align for that screw to go back in. My "fix" might last 3 weeks, 3 years, or until we replace the entire sink faucet. Time will tell. BUT it just hit me, I used Liquid Wrench, a PETROLEUM LUBRICANT, which is a mistake Moen and other manufacturers warn about, that petroleum products eat away at rubber parts. So I can expect my rubber "O" rings inside the faucet to become degraded and for the faucet to start leaking. I have no way to just wipe it off since that spray lubricant is now inside the housing that I can't remove. I foresee a new faucet and a big plumber's bill in the future.(Sigh) So much for DIY.
I loosened the nut under the sink about 3/4 inch , lifted the faucet up that far with one hand and hit the plastic inner housing with the flat side of a hammer (with the other hand) just enough to break the plastic loose from the metal; then I was able to remove the metal as in the video. My reward is now I get to clean all that crusty debris inside the metal housing! I have it soaking in vinegar; hope there are no unintended consequences 00
@@danosono Glad you had success. I have to report my faucet is still working fine after using that Liquid Wrench. I can HEAR the rubber (gasket?) inside the faucet squeaking some every time I move the handle, but it's not leaking after 9 months! Frankly, I'm amazed I didn't ruin it.
The upper O-ring goes on the plastic part and is called upper bearing The spout rides on the lower and upper O-rings and they should be lubed with silicone
Hmm, thanks, but not seeing where my instructions differ substantially. FYI, as I outlined at the beginning of the video the lubricant is silicone based.
My crown ring is well below the level shown here, such that I can't access it. It's below the top of the spout housing or receptacle. Is this normal? Model is Brecklyn. That crown ring is the only thing holding me up. Thanks.
I have a similar faucet and the crown ring is about an inch down like yours. Did you figure out how to get the ring out? I called Moen and they sent me instructions for my faucet but they were like this guy’s faucet where you can see the ring. As I pull the body of it up I see the tabs on the ring spreading but still no luck. Im ready to break it!
@@DobraLLC It's been long enough that I can't remember the specifics, but I did end up replacing the faucet entirely. The new one is already starting to stick! That's the problem with hard water.
Sounds like the problem is with the cartridge (the rotating valve). Try replacing it. Fairly simple to do after you cut off water (both cold and hot) and remove handle. I am sure there are videos on the 'tube on how to do this.
I had this issue as well. I ended up spraying some lime away into the handle from underneath. That seems to have worked for now. I just have to tackle the problem of the faucet not being able to turn from one side of the sink to the other side. Hence why im here now 😜
Might be too late, but at least try to disassemble it to the point where you can possibly pull off the spout and see if you can twist it left and right and maybe get it loose then follow the rest of the instructions. If not sounds like you’re gonna have to take a trip to Home Depot.🤓
That's where I am currently stuck, with our 2014 Model 87316. The handle, dome and upper bearing are off but the spout receptor is not even close to loose. LimeAway helped clean a lot of dirt/gunk from the top but still not loose. Might try silicone spray in hopes it seeps down and loosens the parts.
This EP is great and raw punk, but Overkill got even better when Felice Lococo got in the band shortly after this and they went more speed metal. "Triumph Of The Will" is a classic that should've been released about a year after this EP. The backing tracks were long finished, but then it got delayed by SST for almost 2 years because Merrill Ward blew his voice out while recording his vocals for this and also working with S.W.A. simultaneously and recording their only album. It took him a long time to get in good enough voice to finish TOTW. And to end any confusion, this Overkill is NOT the hair metal poser band from N.Y., this band is the ORIGINAL and better Overkill from L.A. This Overkill was forced to add "L.A." to their name not only to stop the confusion, but also because the east coast shitbag Overkill sic'ed their lawyers on them and threatened legal action.
Professionally done and straight to the point. Thank you, Ron.
Thank you Mr .Scott for your video. It was very informative and here four years later you’ve helped me save time and money. I hope this message reaches you kind sir. Many blessings to you and your family and once again thank you!

Thanks. The best clip I've ever seen in this specific field.
Thanks for the great video. All the information one needs with no wasted time or fillers.
Thank you RON, this was the perfect video to help me tackle my faucet issue.
This fix worked perfectly for my faucet! Thank you Ron
Great video! Step by step instructions. Easy to follow. Fixed my sticky faucet perfectly.
Thanks.
Thanks for the video. I followed your instructions and everything worked great. My faucet looks and turns like a new one.
Thank you, my hubby has fixed our faucet thanks to your excellent instructions!
i've watched 3 videos about this exact problem and yours is the best one with the most helpful pictures and commentary. Thank you!

This video was great. The pictures were clear and description of the work very accurate.
Thank you so much! I was trying to figure out how to remove the receptor and your video made it very clear!
that was a life saver - i've been looking for something like this for years!

Thank you Ron, it worked like a champ. Moen sent me parts with no instructions so, when I came across your instructions, it made my day thanks again 😊
With the money i saved using this fix, I can say internet paid for itself this month. Great explanation and video, worked like a charm on my Moen Tap. Thanks
Thanks fir taking the time to help the rest of us!!👍
Thank you! Fixed mine with your guidance 😊
You are the best 😊 ❤️. Worked as you demonstrated!

My house came with all Moen fixtures , they have always replaced any fixture parts for free
I have a10 year old Moen just like this. Now it is rotating freely. Thank you.
Very good video, thanks for taking the time to compile this.
This was a great video saved me hundreds. Thank you.
Ron, I hate to say this but I am hoping there are more plumbing and mechanical problems at your home. You did such a good job with this video I find myself wanting more similar content. Good Job!
Exactly the same issue, worst part finding the alene key! Thanks
This process works for similar Delta faucets as well. Had the same issue on my Delta Linden faucet, and this process helped fix it.
A very good video!
Thank you!
Btw, being a professional plumber... I just installed today an identical MOEN faucet for someone in Richmond, BC, lol...
I had to really grease the top cap and hit it hard with a hammer to get it to go back on. But you got me there. Its finally fixed. Thanks
Great video.. had same problem.. now works like new
Thanks. This was exactly what was wrong with my Moen kitchen faucet.
You rock! This is exactly what I needed to know... thanks for the video
Thank you ... just what I needed!
Thank you so much for the video. I was able to fix without buying new faucet. 😃
Thanks this is the exact video I needed

The spout body on my foucet is not swiveling at all. Is it to late?
