Some of the greatest value I've gotten from youtube has come from years old videos made by people who aren't professional content creators and are just showing little helpful things. This video is a prime example of that. I was just able to solve a problem that absolutely perplexed me. Thank you.
Just came across this when I needed it most. Extremely helpful, clear and, thank God, nobody with their hat on backwards waving their arms and saying "wasupp guys" before getting on with the instruction. This is a lesson on how to make a DIY video. I followed the instructions and the click clack now works like a charm. Thanks a bunch mate.
I think number of views says it all - visually pleasing but not reliable and prone to clogging. Thank you James for posting this and helping all those dabbling in DIY and aspiring handy persons. This is a small step for humanity, but a massive one for my family's bath time!
Super helpful. So clearly explained. Was able to rescue and mend my spring-loaded plug myself which would otherwise have cost me £££ if I'd had to get a plumber to sort. THANK YOU!
Thanks for posting this video - my stopper is working again! In case it helps others, I disassembled the parts and cleaned the brass parts in hot vinegar as I didn't have any sandpaper to hand. This cleaned off the limescale easily. Then I dried it, put on a little grease and it's great now.
Couldn't find a replacement cylinder anywhere online. This video on how to repair was SO needed! Thank you SO much for posting, and for being clear and well spoken. Great tutorial!
Thanks for explaining how the stopper works. I removed it from the sink but as I have arthritis I didn’t want to risk taking it to pieces. Anyway as there was verdigris on mine I found some descaler and gave it a good soak. I’d already put WD40 on it before I saw your video which explained how to remove it. ANYWAY, it is clean now from the descaler so I’ve put some 3 in 1 oil on it and will put it back when that is soaked in. It is moving OK so should work. I have to fend for myself and will be 73 next birthday and always like to solve problems myself but was able to do it with your help.
So helpful! You just saved me a ton of money because I didn’t have to keep the new replacement part I bought, or wait 5 weeks for a different part, nor did I have to bring in an expensive plumber! You’re my new favorite person! Thank you!
This was brilliant. 👍 Thanks to this video, I was able to get my spring-loaded bath plug to stay down again. Very clear explanation and easy to follow. Fantastic work.
This is an excellent video. I just bought replacement pistons from ebay for £3 to resolve the issue. For such a cheap price I couldn't be bothered to repair the pistons. However this video is great to deconstruct how the piston works
Just followed the brilliant instructions and my plug now works perfectly. I used tweezers to hold the end of the spring before placing the ring on. That was quite fiddly. Thank you SO MUCH.
A fantastic and concise example of what a tutorial should be. And it worked! My Pop-Up stopper now works properly for the first time in years. I only would suggest more detail in the process of re-hooking up that damn little clip. But patience and multiple re-watches led to success. Well done!
Nice quick video, straight to the point. Thanks. :) Tip: Whilst WD40 is great for displacing water it wont stay on for long when washed. It is excellent at thinning down and removing other greases too. Ideally use some lithium grease instead.
Absolute genius James! Took it apart, gave it a clean and actually got it back together in working order. I discovered the ratchet with the kink had lost its kink, but still managed to get it working. Good, clear instructions.
First time dealing with this style. Now I know how they work. The two that we have in our new house were both stuck. I was able to get them cleaned up again and freely moving. Beginning to wonder if our builder put it old parts... We moved in 1 Jan of this year.
Who'd have thought a video for a pop up plug could be so useful. My better half bought one but I dissasembled it and it stopped locking down. Your video saved me so thank you. Don't ever think videos like this small insignificant thing such as assembling a pop up plug are not worth it because they totally are 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! After a year I finally decided to try to fix this thing again, the pin somehow popped out of the little rail, it wasn't staying down. The mechanism is exactly the same, I was so happy when I saw the first frame.
Thanks for showing us that it’s ok to use pliers to unscrew the stopper assembly. Here’s a helpful tip. The multiple sizes of copper brushes in a gun cleaning kit are useful for infinite purposes, such as cleaning the disassembled stopper housing and parts. Thanks for a perfect, no-nonsense how to video!
Great video. One minute our waste was sticking closed, then it wouldn't stay closed. I cleaned everything up and found the small retaining spring on the end needed it's start edge to be pressing sideways on the rod with the bent over ends, then it worked properly.
My sink got stuck in my new house and I didn't have the first clue as to how to fix it. I watched this video, and your straightforward step by step instructions were very easy to learn from. Now, pleased to say my sink is completely fixed! Thank you so much!
Beautiful simplicity! It was exactly what our freestanding Fleurco tub needed. Remind all to close sink stopper so set screw doesn’t “accidentally” unscrew all the way and find nearest sink! Only added 5 min to unscrew u-turn in sink plumbing to retrieve. Works like a charm now. Thanks so very much.
Thank you! My mechanism was not working as it would not stay down. Following your instructions I discovered my "kinky end" had snapped off. I need to replace the pop-up mechanism but this is a lot cheaper and much less hassle than replacing the whole thing!
The best video on how to strip and repair the push-button mechanism. Concise and to the point. Exactly what's needed instead of just lubricating the mechanism like many other youtube videos on this subject. Thank you.
Thank you so much. In my case, the ratchet had somehow become attached to the spring; this is the only place I could find with clear images of how it goes together.
This is the only video like this and incredibly useful. The natural reaction is to say throw them away and get a new one but actually they come in different sizes so that is easier said than done. Better to repair it....and not get a click clack in the first place!
I know this is an older video but I wanted to say thank you! I’d been wracking my brain trying to fix my “OS&B Q Clicker” drain. It popped apart which the spring and all pieces flying in all directions when I unscrewed it to clean it out. I coulent for thé life of me figure out how to reassemble it! My clicker is kind of opposite of yours but the principle is the same and you helped me figure it out. Thanks!
Thank you so much for making this video. Could not find a replacement brush nickel pop up drain when ours got messed up trying to fix a clog. The issue was the little hook thing not catching and my husband was able to fix ours in 5 minutes flat with your superb instructions.
Thanks for taking the time to upload this video, with your help I was able to fix the pop up waste on a sink that I bought second hand and save my self some money. It is an ingenious idea but so simple when you see how it works. It was definitely not a" WASTE" of time watching this video, thanks again for your help.
Thank you so much! When trying to clear a hair jam, the hair pulled mine in half, and I did not know how to get it back together. Your video is perfect. Mine is black and plastic, no screw, just spring retainer hooks moulded into the plastic bodies
Thank you for showing me how to fix this problem! Not time consuming, so super excited about that! Mine was also stuck in the down position. I put hot vinegar in the sink. I waited until it drained itself. I had to do that twice. Then I took the rubber disc to open jars and placed it on top. With some strong pressure, I was able to finally unscrew the stopper so I could dismantle it. My top does not unscrew. So pleased! It would have been a pain to find a new one & I did not relish the idea of taken the drain apart!
Excellent instructions, short, concise, and accurate. Well done. Question: My waste is brand new, but water sometimes drains very slowly- looks like an air bubble is forming around plug, preventing water from draining quickly. If I push the waste once, the water drains immediately. Advice, please?
Just echoing the many many others to say that you've saved my day as well. Thanks for sharing your wisdom on TH-cam for others to benefit and learn from.
Thanks for the video! I came up with my own way with things having around the kitchen. I used the tape, hold the tape down in one thump and twisted with the other hand. Removed it in 10 seconds. Then lubricated the retractable mechanical rod with dish soap, pressed it a couple of times like a pen until it cleaned up all the sticky thingy then put it back. Cost $0.00
Excellent video - thank you! The plug is now working! I wasn't able to unscrew the internal mechanism (the tiny grub screw has seized up), but took the rest of it apart, cleaned it and oiled it and it's now working. Thanks!
Thanks a lot, that saved my day, I was angry about removing that little screw because I though it was for adjusting the height, be just ended up unloading the spring-locking mecanism
Thanks for helping me fix my sink plug. It's been seized for years and I have finally fixed it. Your plug is opposite to mine and it still worked. Nice short precise video
Thanks very much for your video. My bathroom plug kept getting stuck and I fully expected to have to buy a new mechanism £££. Before heading to the shop I did a quick google search and found your video. My mechanism is identical to yours and after a good clean it worked as good as new. The fiddly bit was putting the kinky wire back in as mine didn't want to go (plus there was no kink in mine - it was just bent). Saved me time and a few quid.
Thanks so much for this. Really clear instructions - great images. Saved me a lot of time and money....but best of all is not throwing away a perfectly good mechanism.
Thank you so much. I have used a screwdriver to release mine and it would work for another while. I've just completely cleaned it, oiled it and its finally working perfectly.
Hi. Had my plug stuck in the up position. Took the clicker unit out, took to the plumping suppliers, and purchased 2 new units. Then I found your video! Could have saved £14. Followed what you said, and the original unit works perfect. Moral of the story? Check TH-cam first!
Thank you! I bent the ratchet piece whilst installing the waste, had to painstakingly straighten it and get it back in. And without this video I wouldn't have known it had been bent in the first place!
Awesome video...mine was a pain in the ass because it always stuck in the down position....after following this video i cleaned it and gave it some grease and now it's as good as new. Helped me alot and it's so simple and easy to do thanks to this video .....
I tried to fix mine, I took the stem bit apart however, the main 2 pieces won’t separate even though I soaked them in descaled and added wd40. I ordered 2 pieces at $4 each from Amazon and now my plug is fixed. I will still try to take apart the fused pieces and keep the on standby.
Great video, had it appart but could not figure the bottom section. Very well explained and not the over the top production like many fix it videos. Thanks!
Thank you so much for kindly having posted this video. Your explanation and instructions were very clear and helpful, and our sink plug is now fixed! Many thanks again for your help, greatly appreciated :)
Ok. Thank you SO much!, daughter's plug was stuck down. Got the whole unit out, no prob. The wire end was under circlip. There was me, having cleaned everything up was trying to assemble it with wire under circlip. DER, much colourful language later I came straight to your vid. AHHHHHHH! There’s a tiny hole in the body for the upper end of the wire to locate in. Circlip back in place. Perfik! Note to self.....get some better glasses so I can see small holes. Again, many thanks for your great simple to follow video.
Fantastic, l was trying to fix this thing from the top down. Your video showed me the error of my attempts to reassemble the little bxxxxx. Reassembly is in fact from the bottom up. Thank you for taking the trouble to share your knowledge online. Much appreciated. Brian Stockport
Thanks, very helpful. One could use a 7 inch to 10 inch long X 1/4 inch wide X 1/8 inch thick length of rubber or similar material (heavy duty rubber band), tightly wrap it left wardly around the stopper plug and turn left until it comes free. Use a bit of anti seize compound, apply only to the male threads, and reassemble. Also, once the stopper plug is removed, a open end wrench can be used on the "ridge slots" actually this is designed to use a wrench, less chance of slippage and resulting nicks and marks. A 10 mm wrench fits mine.
My one didn't work some days ago. When I pushed down a plunger, It came up again without stopping. I dismantled it today, found my ratchet has no kink. Only the upper end is shorter than the lower. After thinking for a while, I re-assembled it upside-down, working well again.
Thank you; this video was really useful, as it enabled me to see how to remove the thing from the waste pipe, clean and re-assemble it. Best wishes, Luke Wiseman

Where did you get those replacements?
Perfect! I went to shop for a replacement but couldn't find one. Came home and found this video and fixed my stopper. Thank you!
Just followed the brilliant instructions and my plug now works perfectly. I used tweezers to hold the end of the spring before placing the ring on. That was quite fiddly. Thank you SO MUCH.

Brilliant! Took about five minutes to fix our bath waste following your video. Now works perfectly. Thank you.
Thanks very much. Just moved to a house with one of these and it stuck first time. Things were much easier in the days of a rubber plug on a chain!
Thank you so much. In my case, the ratchet had somehow become attached to the spring; this is the only place I could find with clear images of how it goes together.
Thanks. This helped me figure out how to fix my hook, which had popped out and somehow got partially unwrapped by the catch coil.
This is the only video like this and incredibly useful. The natural reaction is to say throw them away and get a new one but actually they come in different sizes so that is easier said than done. Better to repair it....and not get a click clack in the first place!
You legend. This has been annoying me for weeks. Fixed it! High five
Weeks? Haha. I'm far more lazy than that. I've been avoiding doing this for about 7 years.
Had to take out my girlfriends hair from the drain and the spring popped out. Did not know how to fix it until this video. You’re a life saver 🙏🏾
I know this is an older video but I wanted to say thank you! I’d been wracking my brain trying to fix my “OS&B Q Clicker” drain.

Thanks so much, I thought I've irreversibly broke mine but thanks to your video I fixed it in 2 mins
Thank you so much for making this video. Could not find a replacement brush nickel pop up drain when ours got messed up trying to fix a clog. The issue was the little hook thing not catching and my husband was able to fix ours in 5 minutes flat with your superb instructions.
I needed to understand what was not working properly. This showed me exactly what I needed to know and now all sorted. Thanks!
Mines slightly different but the tutorial is spot on ... Saved me $30 my man ... Some heroes truly don't wear capes eh... Cheers from 🇨🇦
Thank you!! I was able to fix my stopper and save myself the trouble of finding a replacement -- really appreciate your step-by-step breakdown
Read the rest of comments & you’ll see this video is all you need. Absolutely brilliant!
Thanks for taking the time to upload this video, with your help I was able to fix the pop up waste on a sink that I bought second hand and save my self some money. It is an ingenious idea but so simple when you see how it works.
It was definitely not a" WASTE" of time watching this video, thanks again for your help.
Perfect. Could work everything out except how to replace the tiny silver bar. All done so, excellent video!
Thank you so much! When trying to clear a hair jam, the hair pulled mine in half, and I did not know how to get it back together. Your video is perfect.
Mine is black and plastic, no screw, just spring retainer hooks moulded into the plastic bodies
I rarely comment on anywhere. Dude, you are the best. Very clear instructions. You saved me 30eur!
Lifesaver! Mines been stuck down for months and finally got round to trying to sort it, which your video has helped me do!
Thank you for showing me how to fix this problem! Not time consuming, so super excited about that! Mine was also stuck in the down position. I put hot vinegar in the sink.

Thank you so much! my spring loaded mechanism came apart as the retaining screw wasn't tight enough. Your video helped me take it out and fix!!!
Many thanks for this clear explanation. It’s the only instruction of this kind I could find on the internet.
Perfect video and explanation. Was able to fix it in about 10 minutes start to finish and saved a trip to B&Q, Toolstation etc.
You are a god! No one else gives an actual fix for the mechanism. Thank you!
Thanks a lot, that saved my day, I was angry about removing that little screw because I though it was for adjusting the height, be just ended up unloading the spring-locking mecanism
Thanks for helping me fix my sink plug. It's been seized for years and I have finally fixed it. Your plug is opposite to mine and it still worked. Nice short precise video

My goodness you have helped me alot. I was able to fix the pop up on my bath tub as it was no longer closing.
Thanks so much for this. Really clear instructions - great images.
Saved me a lot of time and money....but best of all is not throwing away a perfectly good mechanism.
Great to the point video without all the verbal waffle. This video helped me fix my click clack mechanism that had come apart in situ.
Cheers my man. Pin was broken in mine but just used the one from a sink that we don’t plug 👍🏼
Fantastic. Who would know! Just fixed a problem that has been bugging me for years! Now all fixed thanks to your vid. Thank you
Thank you that's only cost me a tenner to fix my sink. Much appreciated
Exemplary explanation of how these work and how to set about servicing one. Very useful.
This was so helpful seeing the full mechanism and action of the drain plug! thank you
Thank you so much. I have used a screwdriver to release mine and it would work for another while.
I've just completely cleaned it, oiled it and its finally working perfectly.
Clear , concise, coherent , excellent explanation of the topic Thank You from Dunmanway Ireland!
Excellent and very clear explanation. Always wanted to know how this mechanism worked and now I have a useful repair done! Thank you very much indeed.
Hi James - great video and I’ve used it again today to fix the plunger mechanism 😅 A video that keeps on giving! Thank you 🙏
Hi.
Had my plug stuck in the up position. Took the clicker unit out, took to the plumping suppliers, and purchased 2 new units. Then I found your video! Could have saved £14.
Followed what you said, and the original unit works perfect. Moral of the story? Check TH-cam first!
Thank you! I bent the ratchet piece whilst installing the waste, had to painstakingly straighten it and get it back in. And without this video I wouldn't have known it had been bent in the first place!
I’m feeling very impressed and proud that I managed to do this. Thank you for uploading.
Awesome video...mine was a pain in the ass because it always stuck in the down position....after following this video i cleaned it and gave it some grease and now it's as good as new. Helped me alot and it's so simple and easy to do thanks to this video .....
Because of your video ...I fixed my popup drain assembly that came apart 👍🍻from ONTARIO 🇨🇦
The only video showing how to fix this! Thank you… Just save me $44 here in Canada!
Perfekt, your tutorial is the solution of this faulty construction - thank you from Bavaria!
This is the best explanation video I have seen, no lie! Very thorough and helpful!
Thank you so much for this. Love resources like this on TH-cam, learn so much
Really well done video with a thorough explanation of the operation of the plug. Thanks.
Fab video - saved my bacon freeing the plug and making it work again - no need for a plumber or replacement!
I tried to fix mine, I took the stem bit apart however, the main 2 pieces won’t separate even though I soaked them in descaled and added wd40. I ordered 2 pieces at $4 each from Amazon and now my plug is fixed. I will still try to take apart the fused pieces and keep the on standby.
Great video, had it appart but could not figure the bottom section. Very well explained and not the over the top production like many fix it videos. Thanks!
Man I love TH-cam. This was exactly what I needed to see to get mine fixed. Thank you sir!!
Great, no nonsense, easy to follow video
I did a half-assed job and it still fixed my problem. Thank you.
I followed this video and was able to fix my brand new push up drain. Thank you!
This was the vid I needed to fix my issue with a pop-up stopper. Excellent guide. Many thanks!
Great video, thank you! My wife bought a replacement but it wasn't the exact size so I set about repair of the old one using your vid. Worked a treat!
Thank you so much for kindly having posted this video. Your explanation and instructions were very clear and helpful, and our sink plug is now fixed! Many thanks again for your help, greatly appreciated :)
Ok. Thank you SO much!, daughter's plug was stuck down. Got the whole unit out, no prob. The wire end was under circlip. There was me, having cleaned everything up was trying to assemble it with wire under circlip. DER, much colourful language later I came straight to your vid. AHHHHHHH! There’s a tiny hole in the body for the upper end of the wire to locate in. Circlip back in place. Perfik! Note to self.....get some better glasses so I can see small holes. Again, many thanks for your great simple to follow video.
Fantastic, l was trying to fix this thing from the top down. Your video showed me the error of my attempts to reassemble the little bxxxxx.
Reassembly is in fact from the bottom up. Thank you for taking the trouble to share your knowledge online.
Much appreciated.

TQVM Excellent video, very clearly explained. I learned a lot from you to repair my stucked stopper.
Thanks, very helpful. One could use a 7 inch to 10 inch long X 1/4 inch wide X 1/8 inch thick length of rubber or similar material (heavy duty rubber band), tightly wrap it left wardly around the stopper plug and turn left until it comes free. Use a bit of anti seize compound, apply only to the male threads, and reassemble. Also, once the stopper plug is removed, a open end wrench can be used on the "ridge slots" actually this is designed to use a wrench, less chance of slippage and resulting nicks and marks. A 10 mm wrench fits mine.
Excellent video no messing about and great instruction. Thanks
My one didn't work some days ago. When I pushed down a plunger, It came up again without stopping. I dismantled it today, found my ratchet has no kink. Only the upper end is shorter than the lower. After thinking for a while, I re-assembled it upside-down, working well again.
This was very helpful and clear to see how it all goes together. Huge thanks!
Thank you; this video was really useful, as it enabled me to see how to remove the thing from the waste pipe, clean and re-assemble it. Best wishes, Luke Wiseman
