Good video, but... No mention is made of the valve seat rubber or which way it should be installed. It made sense to install the narrow end towards the house. There is a fleeting glimpse of the screw and rubber in the video, but not enough to determine the right way. Other than that, very easy repair.

Watched your video, went to the big box store for the rebuild kit, and was done in ten minutes. Thank you.

Went perfectly.  Package wasn't self-explanatory like the home improvements store stated.   This video Rocks!

Thank you! Bought the repair kit at Lowes this morning and had that thing fixed in, yea, about 15 min or so. Awesome!

Perfect. Fixed a faucet that has leaked badly for 7 years in about 15 minutes. Thanks...

Tried replacing the "FLOAT" problem encountered was that the new FLOAT did not seat "correctly" always left on an angle.

Great video! Clear, quick. Exactly what is needed to guide thru the process. Thank you!

It is a great video...bought the parts and worked great. My only question is that since the change in seals to stop the dripping, there isn't a "twist limit" any more... if I twist too far it becomes unscrewed and no amount of turning has an effect. The handle wont come out but turning handle doesn't do anything. You can push the handle in and reengage the screw mechanism...to turn off the faucet... but it wasn't like this before. I did two faucets and both are like this. Any thoughts?
