DIY Project - Easy Steps to fix a Leaky Kitchen Sink

After weeks of procrastinating, I took on the Do It Yourself (DIY) Project of fixing my leaky kitchen sink.

Tools you will need for this project:

• Adjustable Wrench
• Phillips Screwdriver
• Flathead Screwdriver
• Paper Towels / Shop Towels
• Brass Faucet Stem (2 - Hot/Cold Stem)

Follow these easy to follow steps:

1. Shut-off (turn off) the water connection (which is located under the kitchen sink).
2. Gently use the Flathead Screwdriver to remove the cover on the kitchen faucet knob.
3. Use the Phillips Screwdriver to remove the screw holding the kitchen faucet knob.
4. Remove the kitchen faucet knob.
5. Use the Adjustable Wrench to remove the Brass Faucet Stem.
• I took this corrosive piece to Lowes Hardware to find exactly what I needed for my project.
6. Place the new Brass Faucet Stem in.
7. Use the Adjustable Wrench to tighten the Brass Faucet Stem into place.
8. Place the kitchen faucet knob back over the Brass Faucet Stem.
9. Place the screw back in using the Phillips Screwdriver...tighten it into place.
10. Place the cover back over the kitchen faucet knob (usually snaps back into place).
11. Repeat steps 1-10 for the other kitchen faucet knob.
12. Go back under the kitchen sink and turn the water connection ON.

I hope that this has helped you in some way or another.  It was easier than I thought.  I'm just happy that I didn't run into any additional problems.
