I'm a very, very amateur plumber (just bought my first home, a 130-year-old house, and don't have the money to not DIY) and the bathroom sink had water leaking out the handle on the hot water side of the faucet. I turned off the water, replaced the stem (a spring and seat style) and turned the water back on to find that no water was flowing at all through either side!
I know water is making it to the faucet, but I don't know why it would have stopped flowing through both sides of the faucet, can anyone help me?

Thanks!
