#1 tutorial on YouTube on how to fix a leaky Kohler bath spout. Explained with knowledge and confidence with simple and precise video to match. The pressure balancing unit in the repair kit looked different than original but thanks to “Dad” I was able to reference video and determine it was okay. Thank you “Dad”!

I watched several videos. This was the best by far. Simple, straight forward, good views, clear explanation, didn't skip any steps and didn't go off on any tangents. Thank you.

THE only video that I need to watch to get everything fixed (leakage and water not hot enough). You are doing a great service to the society. Thank you so much, Sir!

I was not confident I'd be able to replace a leaky valve without headache or having to call a plumber - but this video walked me through it step by step and it ended up taking less than an hour. Incredible tutorial! Thanks so much for creating this!

This video was wonderful! I bought the Kohler repair kit and was still experiencing leaks. After watching the video, I realized that I still had some old rubber O rings stuck inside when I took out the valves. Super step-by-step video.

This worked perfectly and fixed my Kohler faucet in bath tub that was only able to deliver hot or cold water. Now I have a working faucet with warm water. Thank you!!

Great video, straight to the point. I'm a handy guy but not very confortable with plumbing stuff. But I did it thanks to your video. Thanks!

Well done ! You explain the steps wonderfully. Thanks for the lesson.

The best video for Kohler Shower valve repair. Well explained and demonstrated. Thank you

[DACOSI]

Great video gave me confidence that I could do it myself. Only issue I had that wasn’t covered was once the screws were removed the control would not budge. Went to Reddit, said use a hairdryer to apply some heat then with a little effort it came out. Reassembly was so easy after that.

[bufbandit]

Thanks! Worked like a champ and super easy fix.

[tomconophy]
