   Thank you for the help! Upon taking everything apart to see what I could see, I discovered that the cap nut was not tight (I screwed it off by hand) so when I put it all back together again I made sure that the cap was on good an sung. Then low and behold, no more drip!

   I followed your instruction as shown but after I did I noticed one of the rubber seat is shorter than the other, which side would the shorter one go? after the repair no more leak but so is the cold water? wife is asking me to buy a new faucet now. I don’t know what happened but why did I lose the cold water?

   Thanks for the video. I have an old house with rust in the pipes, and the hot water side of mine I think is plugged partially. This will help with figuring it out! =D

   I replaced springs and, seats, cam, cam washer, and ball. Now I am getting leak from handle. Is additional tightening needed, or does that indicate that it is not seated properly?

   Which side of the springs goes in the valve body – they’re tapered?

   I got two sets of O rings. Two thin and two thick. Which ones do I use?

    what about the plastic washer or whatever it is on top of the cap; it looks adjustable?

    8:28…what if the water is comming up through the cam and the ball? I made sure the springs and seat are snug in the holes, but water is still comming out.

    The new tight fitting parts might make it much harder to get the valve body into the white guide slot. Requires a lot of down force to keep seated while screwing the cap. Thanks for the step by step guide. Even though I couldn’t get it right for a while at least I knew the procedure and eventually got it seated while pushing down on the valve body for all I was worth. The lever is pretty tight now and takes a bit more force to turn on the water now but hey, no more leaky faucet!

    Thanks, my wife took it apart then asked me to figure out how to put it back together. You saved the day!

    Nice video. I am about to tackle the job with much more confidence. One point, as a retired dentist, is that the helper that is used should be referred to as a “dental instrument” not a “dental tool”. Misuse of that term is a a sore point with dentists.

    Excellent how-to. Just wish it wasn’t blurry on the close ups. Thanks for making this.

    which way do the springs go in? There is a sm/lg end, then the rubber tops–which way do they go on? The blurry diagram isn’t clear & my handle is still NOT tight after tightening screw with allen wrench!! I am freak’n out here!! I even turned the screws around, tried everything backwards, still Not tight! The ball seems loose too!?

    Thanks for the video. This was my first kitchen faucet repair. It took a while (about 2 hours), and 3 trips to the hardware store, but it cost me less than $25.

    My faucet has a diverter, that the video didn’t mention, but I figured that out.

    Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
