Of all the YT troubleshooting vids on pop-up plugs, THIS is the one. Big thanks for cutting to the chase and explaining it all so clearly.

Thank you for explaining this thoroughly so that even a non-DIY person like myself can follow along and fix the sink cap problem

This is brilliant! I started taking mine apart since it stopped closing and it's only a year old. Saw that little straight piece was loose inside but could not figure out how to get to it or where it should go so I left it on the kit counter for a week getting up the nerve to try again. I tried youtube this time and found you. Done!! Thank you so much for doing the video!

Amazing! I've been staring at this plughole for a few months now, and couldn't work out how to fix it. From your anatomy of the piston, I worked out that my piston had lost its screw and separated in two. I was able to use pliers to screw each side out and now know that I can now buy a new piston, yeh! You've saved me having to call out a plumber, Thank you! For what you do.

This video saved me €100. My plug was stuck in the closed position, and it was really jammed. I tried using a plunger, I tried using wd40, but the thing that finally got it open was the rubber glove trick. Thank you!!

Dec 22 : Plug would not stay down. I bought a replacement unit only to find it was the wrong sort. Then I saw this video. Short, clear and simple. We now have a working pop up plug. Very many thanks from UK.

This was very helpful, my plumber didn't understand the mechanism and gave up halfway through, he lost the small ring and assembled everything without that metal clip so it would never lock in to place. I had to redo it myself, I use cotton thread instead of that small ring since it was lost. It works so far. I have to say I'm kinda proud of myself.

To be honest I didn't think I would find a video on this so for the past 2 years have pondered what to do. I brought a plumber here a month ago about another job and since he was here thought I'd get him to fix this. I first asked for a quote and almost had a heart attack when he told me it would cost me almost $600 to replace it. It took me only a matter of minutes once I followed your instructions. The only issue I had was returning the metal clip because I had depressed the piston all the way down and it wouldn't go in. By releasing some of the pressure on the piston it went in easily using a pair of tweezers to hold the pin. Your blood is worth bottling. Thank you.

Tried everything, from knives and forks to magnets. Even tried some other used ideas on YouTube. None of them worked. Until now, I used the anti-clockwise turning technique and it worked like a charm.
Thank you

[haisukii]

Oh my god, thank you so much. I thought my mum was gonna kill me. Your instructions are so simple to follow and understand. You’re a life saver.

[billgreen]
