    Thank you! You're the man. I was sitting around the house bc I was sick. Wife complained about back toilet not flushing thoroughly--fixed it. We needed the umbrella stopper fixed. The step-by-step directions and video were exactly as you described. I followed every step of yours, and it's now fixed! You're the best. Now, I can go back to being sick.

    Thank you! I thought for sure I was going to have to take apart the plumbing to pop it up from underneath, but I found your video, and I ended up needing this lubrication video as well. I can't get the drain to stay down now, but I'm okay with that. Great step by step instructions in these two videos (I've subscribed!)

    Wow my daughter somehow managed to get the rod out of the groove in her drain. I searched all over and found your video. Very clear and detailed video. Saved me a huge headache. Thanks! Sucks that the most informative and helpful videos get very little hits while tik tokers are getting rich!

      Yes I hear you, but not many tictok creators do well. It's a very small percentage. Lots of useless info on tiktok

    Thank you! This helped a lot! I have an Anzzi faucet with a pop-up drain and yours was the closest how-to video I found. I didn't try to unscrew the whole assembly as it didn't want to budge. However, just cleaning and lubing the exposed portion of the pop-up stem as you described put the sink back in service.

    This was great, easy to follow and helped quite a bit. I would like to add one additional step to try. After I did all of this, my drain plug still got stuck down. I found that the mechanism was just setting down too low. So, I replaced the O ring with a thicker one, so that the plug couldn’t go down quite as far, and now it works!

    • @fireandwater7923
      @fireandwater7923 7 місяців тому

      I had the same problem as you! It was too low in the setting when it was closed but to fix it I didn't screw the bottom thread all the way down. I'll get a bigger O ring too I think.

    Thank you. Great vid with very clear and detailed instructions. After disassembly, I soaked all the bits in a vinegar solution for a couple of hours which got them really clean. I then applied a light general lubricating oil before re-assembling. After a week it siezed up again so I used grease as per your instructions and it has worked fine ever since!

    Wouldn't it be easier if the manufacturers incorporated a couple of indents on the top to allow for gripping and turning by fingers or multi-grips?

      yeh i wanna know too, but watching other videos it seems u just twist it left by hand and it will unscrew.. However i cant get it to unscrew out, not even with pliers.. Might have to change the whole dam drain since the pop up thing is stuck to the drain and wont screw out!

    I soaked mine in white vinegar for about 1/2 hour and then spent some time working it back and forth while it was still sitting in the vinegar and it came free and (knock on wood) is working great now. We'll see how long that lasts.

    Hi, great video🙂. Can I use WD40 instead of the all purpose tub you used? Would that work just as good?

  • @satoshiblack1046
    @satoshiblack1046 2 місяці тому

    Only thing i dont have is some all-purpose grease. I've got the spring-loaded stem and some other bits soaking in white vinegar to attack the limescale. I'll have to go with WD40 on this occasion, which is far from ideal

    Good video but what a stupid, overcomplicated, pointless design. Pop up plug was in the bath when I bought the house. My problem is that it is stuck in place and cannot be released - if I get it out it is never going back in.
