| I had bought this adjustable wrench last year, I think, at a swap meet. It worked very well in loosening the faucet handle. |
 |
| The washer (second from the left) is rusting away... The rubber seal (black rubber) is sitting inside a metal cup. Need to remove & replace... |
 |
| All the parts had mineral/calcium on the internal parts. Took some time to clean most of the deposits off using a pick tool. |
 |
| The replacement seal & cut I bought at the other local hardware store has too small a hole in the center. The original cup is in the bottom right of the picture. I installed the replacement seal that I bought & you can see that the rubber seal has too small a hole in the center. I drilled the center hole out to the right size... |
 |
| I reassembled everything and the faucet still drips, very slightly. I'm hoping that the seal will take a set in a few days & even the very small amount of dripping will stop. |
