Hi All,
I have a leaky faucet for which I have obtained a replacement 1/4 turn stem.
When I put this replacement into the faucet with the lower washer in place, it wont fit - it sticks out a short distance. When I remove the lower washer, it goes in pretty easily. The old stem has a washer that is so old it is "flattened" onto the stem and hence had no problem fitting.
What should I do in order to get the replacement stem with the washer to fit into the faucet?
Thanks.
