Stan, as a single mom, I'd like to thank you for helping me diagnose and fix my leaky faucet (just needed cartridge replacement) without having to call in a plumber $ !!
Hi
Plumbing companies hate you right now! 😂👍🏽
eighty4buick 😂
yippie! just fixed something for the first time in my house because of this video! thank you :)
Thank you for this - I'm married to a guy who's legally blind, so I'm glad to have someone show me these types of repairs. Will save the cost of a plumber!
2 am I am watching this video sitting in front of my dripping faucet during this pandemic. Ohh yes you just added some strength and confidence in the life of this mom. I just need to order the parts now. Thanks a million.
Superb instructions! Everything worked out sooth and perfectly thanks to your easy directions. God bless you!
Thank you, now to find the cartridge for my faucet from the 70s. I truly respect the ladies doing it there self. Again thanks
Even after 10 years your instructions continue to be of need. Thanks a bunch :-)
Great video! Two words of wisdom: 1. Make sure the notch is the correct one for cartridge you need, I thought they were universal. 2. Replace the seal & spring located below the cartridge. Great video, saved me some money & earned me Mr. Fix It, from Mrs. J.
Thank you sir, you saved me from my wife
I'm a huge fan of marital harmony!
Haha. You are going to save me from mine.
Thanks for the help coming from a widow of 6 years now. I'm lost these days and have to fix all.
This guy should be a teacher. So easy, can't believe I've let my faucet drip for so long. Excellent easy to follow video.
I learned. He teached! ;D
Stan! Thank You for making these Part 1 & 2 Videos. I finally own my first home and am rather clueless on fixing plumbing even when the fix isn't too complex, like this one. Thanks for the education and savings. Based on the likes, you've helped thousands of people - Much Appreciated!
Thank you for the compliment and thanks for watching! I'm glad these were helpful.
Thank you! Easy directions, good pace, and easy to understand. You're my go to guy for home repairs.
Thanks for making these two videos, I followed your directions exactly and it was a pretty easy success! The plumbing guy at Lowes suggested I replace the spring and seat at the same time and told me how to dig them out and upon inspection the old seat was worn away and torn at the top! Glad I listened to him! So, thanks again!
Nice job explaining, very clear and orderly. I have great confidence I can stop my drip now!
Very well done. Thank you for posting this as I am a widow and plan to replace my dripping faucet shortly.
Thank you for the instruction! I thought I'd have to go at this from the bottom! Very happy I saw this first!
This is the most comprehensive video on the subject. Now I know I can do it myself. Great tips. Thank you for posting!
Thank you so much for these videos! They made changing the cartridges in our faucets so much easier.
Most UA-cam videos have so much fluff and unnecessary filler material in the video, it can make it discouraging to watch. Unlike most, this is a great video, short, to the point, and clear. Thanks again!
I used this video to fix the leak in my bathroom. Took me about a half hour (including the trip to the hardware store), and 12 bucks. Thanks from Staten Island, NY. .
Thanks Stan fixed my leaking faucet at my new house because of this video.
Great stuff! You did several steps that I would not have thought of (e.g. checking to see which "side" was causing the leak, turning off both cold and hot water.) Thanks!
Thank you sir for the video, you saved me 300 dollars 💵
I must be in the wrong line of work :)
Brilliant. Clear, concise, perfect! Thanks very much!
Thank you for posting this! I was able to stop my leaky faucet by your video!
Stan .... thanks a bunch as a mother of four I was able to take care of it on my own... I am very grateful
Thank you! Glad the video was helpufl!
Fixed my kitchen sink that’s to your part 1 and 2 videos! Thank you very much for taking the time to make them!
Great tutorial! My cartridge was slightly different. My cartridge came set for hot but I needed it for the cold side. I just had to reset the cartridge for the cold side...
Works perfectly now and no more drips! Much easier than I thought.
Thanks so much!
Thanks, doityourselfstan, used your video as a guide to replace leaky faucet in my master bath. Worked great. 😀👍
Very helpful video! I have fixed my leaky faucet myself. I did have trouble getting the cartridge out but I soaked it in vinegar and it came out easily then. Thanks!
REALLY good, clear video! I’m going to fix my drip tomorrow.
Thanks man, the instructions were nice and easy to follow and walked us newbies through step by step. appreciated!
What a blessing. Thank you, Stan.
Thank you so very much for this video! I am not a 'do-it-yourselfer' but by following your video this only took my 10 minutes from start to finish. God bless you for taking the time to upload. I'm sure this saved me $100's of dollars!
Maybe you save 100 of dollars but by not giving this 100 dollars to the plumber the plumber guy won't be able to spend the same 100 dollars at your (ex) Restaurant. Just saying this cause I just wonder at the end of the day if we all win in that situation ~ We became communist in a capitalist system, don't you think? Can we have both? Mmh!
Yeah, by that logic we could invigorate inner cities by randomly burning down apartment buildings. Think of all the construction jobs!
This was so helpful. Didn't know there was a hidden screw. Thanks for posting.
Just watched parts 1&2. Thank you! I was able to fix my sink in half hour, including the time it took to go to the store for the cartridge.
It worked for me too.
Well done! You explained it all very clearly and why you do some things, that's so helpful. I feel more confident attempting this myself, wish me luck! Thank you for posting this video!
Thank you very much for saving me the expense of a professional plumber. Easy fix thanks to great instructions.
Thank you! Glad everything worked out!
Excellent directions on how to fix a drip in faucets . I may try this . Thank you
Oh boy! Wish me luck! I’m a 75 yr old woman, who isn’t quite sure if I can even reach the turn off! This should be fun! 😂🙏🏻
Felt like my Dad was with me again.😢Thanks for posting came in real handy!
Excellent video, straight and to the point. Thank you.
Thank you Stan for this easy to follow video. My Moen kitchen cold water handle was not shutting off and you made my day by showing me how to fix it in an easy and inexpensive way. Blessings!
Thank you!
Thanks. You just helped me fix my dripping faucet.
Thanks for the video. Short and succinct! As an added bonus I would have taken the opportunity to clean the faucet area. :) Well done!
Absolutely! It's always harder to clean things once everything is back in place. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this! I'm going to try to fix my leak this weekend.

I appreciate your tutorial!! Very helpful
Thank you for the helpful tutorial
worked like a charm. Thanks!
This was a big help. Thank you!
Helpful video! Thank you!
Thank you for that video. I learned how to fix my first faucet.
Two thumbs up for you! Thank you or watching!
Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you
Thank you for your video. It was very helpful
Thank you! Huge help.
Great video. Thank You for sharing this!!!
Same exact problem. You the man stan!
PERFECT. Your video was the exact same faucet we have and I was able to go thru it perfectly. I didn't have enough strength to pull straight up on the cartridge and was afraid of mangling something. I tried everything from pliers, to a pipe wrench, to vice grips, to penetrating liquid, to a screwdriver and no luck. I finally had to call in my husband. He popped it right up (of course all my work got it started, right?). We didn't have to replace the cartridge as there was a little piece of what looked like PVC pipe stuck in that side opening. Hmm, wonder where THAT"S coming from...I have been getting teeny bits in the faucet filter and the shower head filter. I cleaned out the green corrosion on the inside copper pipe, realigned the cartridge and pushed it down, put everything back on, and slowly ran the water. There was a weird looking bubble in the flowing water so I checked the filter and cleaned it out again. Now everything is good to go. THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you. This helped me with one of our bathroom faucet
Thank you so much this was so helpful
very nice now i can fix my leaking kitchen sink faucet
Saw the videos Part 1 & 2 and found both very helpful - thank you.
Something to share on my experience, I found pulling the cartridge from
my faucet very, very hard, almost not able to pop it out without
exerting huge muscle power from my Son... others may have this same
issue and think something is wrong.
Thank you for this video.
Very helpful. Thank you
Hi, Stan! This is a great video and I'm thankful for your putting it together for those of us who are trying to learn to take care of the small things ourselves. I ran into the problem that I cannot for the life of me get the cartridge back in! I've tried everything and it's only me. I had to use pliers to put it out, replaced the spring and the rubber piece (cartridge seems fine). Any suggestions for a lady trying to fix it on her own?
Thank you Stan.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks - very helpful
Bless your heart, thank you!
Thank you, just fixed two faucets 👍😎
Thanks Stan...😘
Thank you so much!
awesome video! saved me a house call!
So very helpful.....ty
THANK YOU for the video.... :)
Thank you Sir.
Thanks! This helped me fix two leaky faucets. I also fixed a toilet but that wasn't directly because of this so much as I figured while I had the tools out... =-)
Couldn't agree more.
Thank you!
Thanks for the help, man. Motorcycles I can deal with. Plumbing, uh, not so much.
Vroooom!! Glad this was of help!
Nice, thank you
