My house was built in 1971. One of the sillcocks finally started leaking a small amount from the spout.
I went to remove the stem to replace the old washer. Problems: 1. The screw holding the wheel handle (slotted) is rusted and stubborn. I soaked it overnight with Blaster penetrant and will try again today.
2. The bigger question is: how do I remove the stem when there is no packing nut ?
