Hello everybody,
I have been attempting to remove an outside spigot stem, as it will not shut-off anymore. After removing the handle and the packing nut, I see a hard surrounding part (washer?) that
the stem is inserted through. I have tried turning the stem counter-clockwise and pulling on it, but it won't budge. I am afraid to yank really hard, although I have read account of
plumbers doing that with success. Any input on this dilemma would be appreciated!
