Kitchen Faucet Repair - LH (Hot) Side - Saturday, March 9, 2019

Didn't take many pictures.  The kitchen faucet has been dripping for quite awhile.  Finally got around to try and fix it this weekend...


The washer between the nut and the metal cup (with the seal in it) completely rusted away.  Went to B&B Hardware (on Washington Place) to get a replacement rubber seal.  The hole in the middle of the seal didn't match so I had to drill it out to the larger hole diameter.  Also, with the new rubber seal, the nut was very difficult to put back on because the seal was a little thicker than the original.  Was quite an ordeal to get it all to go back together.  After I put everything back together, the faucet still dripped but very little.  The seal may need a little bit of time to "seat" itself.  I'll replace the RH side (cold) seal tomorrow and see if the dripping stops...
