Yeah but what about the guts of this feature? This is about how quick "you are" and nothing visual inside. Thanks for nothing.

Thanks! less talk and more real explanation and action! Surprised that you got that much done in 1:58 sec. It at least gives one the confidence to tackle the job or make the call to the nearest plumber.

@umassthrower I would give you all a link to a much better video, but sadly youtube doesn't allow posting of links

Wow, what a terrible tutorial.

This guy must give driving directions like this:

1. get in your car

2. turn the key

3. pull out of your driveway

4. drive where you're going

5. get out of the car.

"congratulations, you're there!"

BE CAREFUL!! That collar or "easy thing" you talk about to unscrew might not be so easy. If it is to hard to unscrew when you wrench down STOP you might bend the copper tubing behind it. I did that and it cost me $365 for a plumber to replace the whole mixing valve.  The plumber said "they usually cut it off".

Wow, people are dicks.

You say shut the water off at the street and then you go to the hot water heater......

[Deemontgomeryful]

if you leave the water on you may get a little wet but you don't have to pull as hard because the water is pushing while you are pulling so ladies we can fixing the faucet even if we are not that strong the water will do the work and no parts get stuck thank you God for wisdom

That was about the most useless "tutorial" I've ever seen. You showed basically nothing after you removed the handle.

This is a set of single lever Delta faucets. The biggest problem with these faucets is usually the spring and washer that has to be replaced.The remainder of the parts are usually not required and delta parts can be purchased individually although you should always change both springs and washers. It is to bad you didn't show an upclose on what you did. It would have helped a lot. I maybe mistaken,but I believe Delta has a lifetime warranty on their parts as well.G.L. and have a good day.
