Yes! "You forgot to mention that after you twist off the initial handle, there is a small “female head” hex screw that gets removed before you pull the main assembly off." We were trying everything to pull off the assembly. We even took the whole faucet off. Then we saw another video that mentioned the hex screw. Thanks to both videos! ua-cam.com/video/CSC-gVWCaGE/v-deo.htmlsi=pjgkFuPPtsD3RoUk
Hope Your comment would help the others! I`ll make it highlighted 🙂
I'll watch this video all day, just for the lovely music.
At Your pleasure 😀
I was having same issue recently, and I found out that similar cartridges can be purchased in most plumbing stores. Apparently the cartridges are very similar to the hot and cold water stem cartridges for the the sink faucet.
They definitely are, and purchasing a new one would solve the problem for more years than repairing the old one. But we`re not looking for easy way out 😉
Worked as described in the video. Thank you so much!
Happy to help 🙂
Thanks mate i was wondering how to remove the valve assembly, never thought i just need to remove the handle lol. I just clean everything with good old WD40 and install it back and the drip is gone. Thanks again.
Yes, sometimes a good old deep clean is the best solution!
Love the reference to Depeche Mode at the end :)
Should've followed the "reach out and touch faith" 😅
Worked great thx!

Why put electrical tape on the gasket?
@@pgabriel6776 We're putting electrical tape on the ceramic disks, not on the gasket. The electrical tape plays the role of the sealer, so that the water has no chance to go though the ceramic disks, when the water is shut off.
I hope I was able to explain it somehow 😃
You forgot to mention that after you twist off the initial handle, there is a small “female head” hex screw that gets removed before you pull the main assembly off.
Thank You for mentioning that!
Yes, it might be on some assemblies, but there are no additional screws on this particular tap in the video.
Finally got around to trying this but as I feared, the water gets on the tape and it just ends up sliding out of place. I think I just need to get an entire new setup. I forget the brand but what trash it is to leak like this.
excellent
Thank you 🙂
I will up my cap 🎓💪💪💪you are amazing
🙂 Thank You
Done. Thanks a lot.
Glad I could help 🙂
You put gasket electric tape I can't see clear you put back the tape on the top or the bottom?...
I guess it could be called the top - faced to the valve, NOT between the ceramic discs.
And try at first with one stripe, with two stripes it might be too tough to turn the valve.
What's the purpose of the electrical tape? Cant see what the tape will be touching but wouldn't water seep in with the electrical tape and get into the drinking water? Was trying to find a direct replacement but the only one that was similar was the Kohler from home depot. Do u know if that one fits or know of one that does? Similar ones on Amazon appears to have fit/leak issues.
Where do you buy Citric acid?
You can find Citric Acid Powder in your local supermarket/grocery store, usually in the canning section.

Still dripping but at a much slower rate.
If You have done everything showed in the video, including descaling (or removing rust, or any other dirt particles from the valve), then I would add another stripe of electric tape. Otherwise, we have to admit, that things are aging and sometimes we just have to replace them 😕
