Self explainatory ain't it? I was headed out to the barn to bed cattle and the wife came out and said she didn't have water in the kitchen all of a sudden. Expensive single lever faucet went bad somehow. Had water everywhere else. Couldn't get it apart to see what went wrong in the ball. Ended up having to use a pickle fork for tie rod ends and a pair of channel locks to get big nut off underneath to get the whole thing out. Then I had to saw off the lines at the bottom of the unit to get it all the way out.
Trip to the hardware store,$96 for the one like the old one with the faucet that pulls out for a sprayer. And wouldn't you know it,all plastic. Had to be put in the sink before the lines could be hooked up and I bunged up the plastic fitting on both sides trying to reach up from underneath and get them started. Got pizzed off and threw my glasses and broke them. Finally after about 2 hours of doinkin around,it's in there,but I'm sore from laying on the edge of the baseboard and reaching up.
Some days,you just wish you'd gotten in the truck and gone for a drive or something.
