: I have a Mansfield outdoor faucet that is leaking. I assume all it needs is a new washer. How do I go about replacing the washer? Reply: If the spout is dripping - You would need to shut the water off inside the house first of course. Remove the handle, then unscrew the bonnett nut from the faucet body. If it is a frost free bibb, or a regular hose bibb, simply replace the washer. Good Luck. e-plumber
