#ooof#i may be a jack of all trades of something lmao#hopefully i can fix my cousins leaking shower faucet#im guessing its the cartridge since the knob cant turn it off anymore maybe the rubber gasket finally wore out#going to need to buy soem waterproof silicone grease for the o rings to lubricate the new cartridges o rings before installing#got me the core puller since i dont want to break the inner part of the old cartridge#then wed need a real professional LMAO with the tools to take the broken stem out#so hopefully im able to take out the old stem safely#and then go to home Depot and find the same cartridge#installing it is the easy part taking it out is the hard part#turn off main water#pop off the top of the handle unscrew it from the stem#pop off the handle#then the metal tube#take out the tab holding the cartridge in place#then safely and slowly use the core puller to take out the old cartridge#after taking it out inspect for brand or any numbers if none go to home Depot and look through there catalog#then simply push the new cartridge in making sure to keep the moon side down so the water is off and not on the on position#then turn the water on before or after putting on the handle to see if the cartridge is facing the right way#so the water comes out cold then hot#hopefully it goes well and i fix there water#they spent 600 dollars on water cause of the leaking tub#im definitely going to have to get paid for this one if im able to fix it LMAO the parts are not cheap#knowing my cousins they'll probably just buy me something to eat and try to play it off as payment but not today ๐Ÿ˜‚#will see on Friday when the core puller comes and ill just go to the plumbers store for the water proof grease/lubricant#ill update My Internet diary on Saturday LMAO ๐Ÿคฃ#i honestly need yo start writing in my journal again im so inconsistent its my worst traits rn
