Stiff Faucet Neck Fix 

Wonderful! Now I don't have to call a handyman for something I can do myself...a 75 year old woman living by myself. Thanks so much Around The Home. Elizabeth

This 75 year old female appreciated this. Worked perfectly. Thank you.😂

Just what I was looking for to confirm my thoughts. Thank you for your video.

Thank you! My husband watched your video and then was able to fix our faucet. I can move it around easily now.

This was really helpful, thank you! Fixed our issue with your guidance.

Just what I needed, Thank you for your help.

Thank you, I didn’t realize the neck cover came off. Took it off, cleaned it and greased like you suggested. Works literally like new.

Worked like a charm! Thanks for the video!

Thanks for your helpful video. So happy to have fixed this issue with your help.

His advice helped he fix my faucet, great advice!

Thanks for taking the time. I might have thought I had to remove the whole faucet to work on it.

A big help. Thank you!

I had to pry off the faucet with a wedge scraper because so much grime was built up at the base. Works like new again. Thank you!

Same issue with this style faucet. Plan to replace it soon in warranty but need to get the existing one to turn while waiting for the new one... great video and thanks

I am scared of home plumbing jobs. A leaky faucet can end up as a major flood……however, THANK YOU for this great video. I followed your directions to the letter, and even bought the same grease from Amazon. Everything went back together just like new. My faucet is as free as could be. Before repair it was so tight it even moved the base plate. Mine has only one hold down nut which needs tightened up a bit. Thanks very much for the instruction.

To avoid potential damage to the cap (2:50), try using a jar opener pad either by hand or under the pliers.

Thanks for video. Had to pry gasket off with small screw driver. Then the rest was simple like you said. Was dirty on bottom. Works like new. That you Buddy.

Thank you so much....I'm a 72 year old female and I was able to repair my faucet all by myself...it only cost me 80cents for a new O ring.....

Thank you, this was super helpful, thanks for posting

Thank you for your help your videos are very useful

Funny. When you said "butter knife" I immediately thought of my husband and in my head I yelled "IT'S NOT A BUTTER KNIFE! It's a TABLE knife. The butter knife is small with a non-serrated edge on both sides!" - LOL.

Thank You for your video, Awesome!

What if it is stiff and leaking at the bottom also?

Sweet. I have this exact issue on my sink after 18 months on a new home. We are in an area of very hard water. We have a softener now.

Thanks. I liked and subscribed.

Thank you!

Thank you for the video.

All fixed. My lower o-ring was worn out and oversized, I think it was getting jammed up so I just removed it, greased it up and working great now.

I tried a jar opener but to no avail. I wrapped it in masking tape to avoid scratches and used a wrench. No scratches and it worked.

Thank you for showing me how to remove the swivel neck. I'm on my second Glacier Bay faucet. The first unit was replaced under warranty after 2 yrs. I'm notice that the swivel is again becoming more difficult to turn 2 yrs later. This design is not very good. I took apart the first unit and found lots of corrosion inside the upper o-ring area and black debris on the lower o-ring like you did. Why do you need o-rings anyway? When I need to, I think I'll remove those o-rings or buy a different brand/ style faucet. This is the problem. When using the pull out sprayer, water gets on the hose. This water runs down inside of the swivel housing and sits above the lower o-ring. This eventual causes the housing to corrode and the o-ring to bind up. Today I took both o rings out so any water that gets inside can weep out the bottom.

what to do when you can't lift the faucet off the base? The part that should swivel is stuck to the base. How do you loosen it? Please and Thanks

I've re greased mine, but it gets relatively stiff within a few days again. Any insight? No water leak, the o-rings look fine. Its not that it doesn't move, or overly stiff like yours, but it is never free moving and does not retain its easy moving glide like freshly applied silicone grease for more than a few days.

I used WD 40 silicone lube. Didn't take anything apart. Worked ok but still a little stiff. Why in the hell do they put that GD clear coat on everything. Ends up looking like crap in a couple years. Anybody know how to remove it?

How long is the greasing likely to last before it has to be done again?

Mine doesn’t have a nut to unscrew on the top???

I usually apply ice and give mine some ibuprofen.

I'm trying to figure out why you even bothered to turn off the water. You never disturbed nor removed the cartridge retaining nut (mentioned at 3:16) so you never opened the pressurized supply lines. About the only thing that might happen is while removing the handle... or bumping it later... you might turn on the water a bit... but you can just shut it right back off with your fingers -- and any bit of water that comes out in so doing just drips out of the end of the faucet and on into the sink... ...I suppose the retaining nut could be cracked or something and fail while you are messing around here... blowing the cartridge out followed by a fountain of water... but in that sort of failure, it could just happen anytime as you turn on or off the water and aren't even working on this...

Actually by following your cleaning process it isn't even necessary to turn off the water valves.

His voice would be perfect for an Elon Musk deep fake video.

This might have been helpful if the man had spoken more slowly and distinctly. I could hardly understand a word he said.

These designer kitchen faucets are junk. My Price Pfister has the stuck problem and the pull out hose thingy came out completely and water gushed out. Don’t buy these fat faucets unless you want to keep paying to fix them.

"Lefty-loosey" amateur. COUNTER-CLOCKWISE Removing the calcium BEFORE adding grease would be better. Grease will hold that gritty junk!
