Now I get why my identical faucet has been stuck for quite a while. I had a plumber look at it who said: : jeah, that's not worth fixing. You have to replace it." Replacement for new faucet $110. Labor quoted $550. I said, what? that's 50 bucks less as the charge to move an kitchen island sink, faucet lines, refrigerator water line, dishwasher and plumbing extensions 2 feet back! Why is this price so high? I saw him hunt for a reason. He came up with "well, because the company guarantees the labor so everything must be new." Wow, I must look gullible. I told him that the YT videos show items are easily repairable for the cost of labor and nominal parts. I sent him packing and dropped his so-called guaranteed plumbing services. Thank you and all the people like you for saving us from shisters thieves and sharks.😊
I seriously can't thank you enough for posting this! I have the exact same faucet and it was super stiff. I knew the posts under the handles had to turn, but was afraid I'd do it wrong and break them. I actually used silicon spray for under the handle and inside to lubricate and protect against corrosion.
My problem is different. The bottom part of the right handle moves with the top part. I took it apart, cleaned with 1:1 water:vinegar, and still cant get the bottom part to stay still. So I removed the left handle, then installed it back and it worked. I have a feeling something broke in the right handle 😢 Thanks for the video! Lots of health
