@elchicho25 there are hundreds of brands and thousand of sizes you gotta kinda know what u got or take it out and try compair to ones online.. every few years new models are made so if you have older ones it may be a little more tricky but not impossible

Whenever repairing an old bath faucet;the last thing in the world you want to do is cut the stem with a hacksaw.Try using a pair of vise-grips.If you cannot buy a new stem;it maybe possible to rebuild the old one with some packing or an o-ring and a new end washer.Try to find out what type of faucet it is first.Older bath faucet stems are not a common item to find.You can often rebuild them and get a finishing seat tool to refinish the seat in the wall as well.Good lcuk and have a large day!!

One video would be preferred; or at the very least, number them X of however many. The easier you make it for your viewers, the more they will reward you. Thanks.
