Hi Chuck, Great video, I used to own a 100 plus year old house in Rutherford, NJ. I had a similar set up in one of the bathrooms in my house, it had to be from the 40's or 50's. I would dread having to change the washers especially with all the old screws holding the washers in place.I always had to wrestle removing the handles then working with those tub wrenches to remove the stems. Im sure the screws holding the washers in place were original. The heads were starting to disintegrate, i'd take my time removing the screws. With a small screw driver I'd back the screw out, then replace the washer put it all back together and call it a day. i never had to replace the seats. That housing seemed like it was cemented or plastered into the wall, it would have been a major job to remove it from the wall. I believe its still in use today.
Hey bud, Congratulations on your retirement from the fire dept. Between the fire dept. And the plumbing, you are a gift to humanity my friend. A job well done!
I'm just a drain guy now but I love the information on how to change a faucet. Great stuff, Chuck, and you're right. There just ain't enough money and doing that type of work. It's been a long time since I did something like that but my guess is you'd have to get at least four hundred bucks to do that job what do you think
I have to say, Chuck, I haven't watched a bideo in a while, but I missed your personality. Yeah, that job is always a craps shoot. Especially if it is in an apartment building, on the third floor. With no access to shut off valves. Gotta shut down the main, and pray nothing breaks or strips, while taking it off. Thanks for sharing, buddy. What do we got? Another satisfied customer, that's right.
I noticed that after youtube started getting popular, repairs on things like toilets and faucets are few and far between in my area. Occasionally I'll get an elderly person or a husband who messes up a faucet, but for the most part it's not financially worth the trip for my company personally anymore. If the faucet or toilet are more than 15 years old we just recommend replacement.
Thanks for the video! I am facing doing the same. Why do the L handles strip the seats? What is better, any T-handle? I just bought a set of these to replace the valves as my wife said she could not adjust the mix to the right temperature. Still have not opened. I thought I would replace the seats while I was in there. Maybe I should leave well enough alone if they are not actually leaking (yet)? They are hard to turn off, so maybe it is worn washers?
I'm installing a new three handle tub/shower kit from Danco & the copper valve seats do not have any washers attached or included, nor does my old one (unless it corroded away)? Do these valve seats need a washer or teflon thread? Also, be careful with these kits because in my case, the faucet stems fit but the the diverter stem does not. Back to the hardware store...again.
@ChuckBarron keep them coming. How do you think I learned about the seat inside the facet? Yes, I got the L shaped tool you thought was junk, but it worked. Need the handel puller, though. They get really stuck on.
I use to love repairing and rebuilding tub faucets...now I'll sell a single handle tub/shower faucet if I can. Would take me about an hour or so trying to get all the parts out just to get everything back together, just for it to still leak...smh.
That tool you weren’t sure about is an extraction tool for tub drains. When the cross breaks, you can use that to grip the tub strainer and remove it.
Thank you plumber dude
@@ChuckBarron 🤙🏼 I’m excited to see the new content!

so true for sure on cost.

labor to repair too close to replacement cost...
it's a gamble for sure.
Thats a ridged internal pipe wrench. Used mainy for removing stuck tub drains.
thanks Dennis
I have the same old three handle shower in my upstairs bathroom. Is a pain in the neck. I can't wait to replace it with a single valve shower.
oh a I know. Big problem
Great video! I have one question though, what happens if the faucet in the wall is stripped out?? 😢
That's a inside pipe wrench. I use those on toilet spuds and urinals
my man. thank you,.
That’s a tub drain extraction tool. I have a use for it. Happy to take it off your hands👍
gonna keep that one.
awesome video you make understand all the steps to make a job the best.
Thanks Dave

Im not a plumber (hvac guy) but that tool with the handle might be a tub drain extraction tool?
Thanks sir
Chuck I use that tool for the spuds on Sloan valves
oh cool. Nice to know. Thank you
Internal wrench could be for holding back baskets or holding back old tub strainers maybe even removing a broken off pipe from a socket???
not sure allan
Damn that looks like my collection
your front line tools? ha
Hey Chuck B. I'll take those Quest pipe fittings. How much do you want for them?
Free where you out of?

What are shower tub knobs that are three of them and turn on push off?
So how long has it been on the video making? But yes i been changing my own at home. Saves me the high cost. Thanks for the vedios
On youtube since 2018

1 more question. What do you do if you can't get the handle off with the puller? Thanks in advance brother!
@stephenbraden6239 tell you what I did. I cut the stem and all off, then replaced it with new. Once it's cut, you can wrench the stem out of the hole.
@@michaelfarris2556 take a Sawzall and cut it off?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Chuck Barron 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Lets go.
What kinda grease you putting on those threads?
the tool is what you would use to remove the broken pipe treads. from a fitting
Thanks Dan
