The Family Handyman instruction photos provided me with the detailed instructions I needed for rebuilding the Delta twin faucet set installed on the sink in our master bath. The step-by-step guide was clear, informative, and well executed. I should have paid more attention to the orientation of the notches on the cartridge for both hot and cold prior to removing them. After a few tries, I finally figured out how to properly orient the handles. My plumber quoted me $120 to do this job. I decided to tackle it myself after viewing your web site. Also, I elected to purchase all new Delta stems, springs, and seats, as well as the plumbers grease. My out of pocket costs (less Tax) was slightly over $39.00. The dripping at the faucet has now ceased thanks to your well written and photographed instructions!

Your instructions are very easy for this type faucet. I have one the first Cartridge-type faucets made, there is no name brand visible to me so I cannot give you the name brand. I was told by friends that are pretty handy around the house that I need a special tool to take out the cartridge to repair it. After inspecting the faucet I fine this to be true, not as easy as you discribe in your quick fix. Could you send or email instructions how to fix my older cartridge faucet? sonny Minnick sonny2021@hotmai.com....

I have a shower faucet, single handle Delta, leaking around the handle. Do I assume the repair would be basically the same? You say have plumber's putty (part of your list of items needed) but show putting a thin layer of plumber's grease on. Is the plumber's grease the same as plumber's putty? Thanks - rstauffer
