Yea that is the tricky part just be sure to face the stopper rod opening to the back of the sink towards the faucet. YOu can put tape on the top marking the stopper direction as well until its done. There is a little bit of play there so once its in place you can move it up or down slightly until the rod slips in. I'm sure you will get it fixed.. take care
@@ninjadiy2022 Thanks, appreciate the tips. I ended up buying a new drain stopper as the piece at the bottom of the original one with the whole broke off it. With that said once I dropped the stopper in the sink I had trouble lining up the whole with the pivot rod. It was very hard to see it as you said. But somehow I guess even though I could not get the pivot rod through the whole it was still touching it and the stopper was moving up and down. When I lift up the lift rod the drain just about goes all the way up. Enough to where it does hold the water. When I push down the lift rod the drain stopper comes back up but it’s almost a little too high up but should be ok. Everything seems to work, although not perfect, so I think I will leave it as is? Maybe if I get motivated I will try it again.
Thats a different design than in this video. The best thing is to look and the mfg spec sheed exploded view and you can see what malfunctioning on those
@@ninjadiy2022 I do maintenance for my apartment complex, I’m still learning a lot of things and so these videos help. My biggest fear is water pouring into an apartment, happend once and don’t want to do it again.
yep I totally understand and glad to help.. any pressurized plumbing line you shut water off so basically any water supply lines ect.. drain lines are not pressurized so your ok there besides any small amount of water stuck in the ptrap or if its a sewage backup scenario in drain lines.. yuk lol stay safe@@brandonrogersofficial
So the stopper itself is not threaded it just hooks in from one side. So most likely it broke or came loose so you can buy a new stopper and install it. The long form is a more detailed walk through for you.
@ninjadiy2022 to piggy back off of your comment, make sure to get the right size stopper too. Take your original in with you to the hardware store. (Advice based off my mistake lol)😅
Yea very true with just about any part you are replacing on anything... agree completely! always take the part to make sure they are selling you something that looks the same :)@@leannabedore
You can slow it down in settings or watch the long form version for more detail.. Its hard to do a complete step by step breakdown in a 60 sec short :)
Watch the video as a normal video and that will allow you to slow down the speed. Google “ how to play RU-vid short as video” it’s super easy to do. Hope it helps and have a great day
dang that's not good! most hardware stores sell individual parts or kits. Always take your broken part there to be sure its a match to what you have too. Good luck! :)
