originally when stem & seat replaced - pipes noisey & water at spout not strong. The stem has washer at end & an O ring on forward end of cylinder behind cup for washer(no other washer except for bonnet where it meets body). I tried removing the O ring and water comes from spout when when handle pointed to shower. After many in & out instalations, I stopped the noise & water from the spout by tightening the bonnet very much, but then no water from spout when pointer turned to spout. It iis a 3 handle faucet abouy 30 years old. There is no access to the faucet except from the front so i want to avoid replacing it.
