@Cholo5730 Backing up means that you are going to put a wrench on the brass threaded portion of the supply's that come out of the faucet body. Attempting to tighten the riser onto them with without backing them up can twist the soft copper that they are made of. A 5/8" open end wrench fits nicely onto the "drops"

When you say, "And you want to back that up because of those drops, and this 5/8's wrench actually will work because they are soft copper," please clarify this and also your remark, "And you don't want to tweak it up in the faucet body. You always back that up when you're tightening up your riser.".

I have a single handle faucet leaking. Replaced stem, still leaking. I'm afraid I'll need to replace the facade assembly. Your video was informative. Thanks. I wish you would have shown the base mounting configuration better and where and how the special tool was utilized. Sorry, but, your under-sink video shot too dark.
