Hi All,
I'm new to this forum and I need your help!
My bathroom faucet (cold water) is leaking out water whenever I turn it on. I'm sure the rubber seal has worn out. I would like to replace it.
First I need to shut off the water supply. But the water supply valves don't have a turning knob on them (see pics #3 down). Where do I purchase the correct knob for them? Home Depot? But how can I make sure I am buying the right one? I live in a pre-war building (1928). I'm not sure the sink had ever replaced before I moved in.
The fourth pic shows the water hoses connecting to the faucet set. I assume I need to disconnect the hoses in order to get to the section where the rubber seals located? Actually I would like to replace the faucet set if it is DIYable. There is very little room to move around disconnecting the hoses. What special tool do I need for that?
Please advise! Thanks!
