Hi,
I am attempting to help my daughter stop a leaky tub faucet. She purchased a gerber kit that contains 3 valve stems with seats and all the other chrome hardware.
I started on the hot water side and had no problem getting the old corroded valve seat out using the appropriate valve seat tool. However I could not get the new seat installed. I could get it started with my finger but when I tried to tighten it with the wrench it does not "catch". Fearing that this could get ugly (this is a converted apartment turned condo and the only access is through the front) I put the old seat back in. It now leaks worse than when I started.
Any help is appreciated.
