The screw backed out easily. Remove the chrome collar nut and the gasket. Get new washers and springs ($4) and a new mixer (the brass ball - $10) Use needlenose to remove and replace washers/springs. Put the rubber and nylon gasket back on. Put the chrome nut back on. New knob comes with new screw. Turn on water. Smooth.
