how to take apart this faucet

Dec 08, 2005 6 Replies

I bought a faucet a year ago from hoem depot. It's an American Standard. It's one of those cheap ones, cost me probably around $60 Canadian. But it's leaking now. American Standard has a life time warranty on it. It's very nice of them to deliver me a set of parts i.e. cartrige.. But I have difficulties taking that faucet apart. Any one know how to? Thank you in advance. Here is link where you can see pictures of the faucet.

Look for and loosen an allen head set screw near the base of the lever, and go from there.

To add to that, I believe it is on the back of the lever.

Heres a link to a page that may help you.

Scroll down, there will be a diagram and information.

Yes. And it takes a lot of force to get it back together. I went through the same cycle 2 years in a row before I gave up and changed to a better faucet.
