in the off position. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, move on to the next step.

When you’re sure that no water will come out of the

tap, remove the faucet handle by prying off the decorative cap with your knife. Detach the screw

that’s located right under the cap with your

screwdriver.

warm it up with your hair dryer or you may also use a

handle puller.

culprit. Install a new gasket and guarantee that you’ll

position it properly in place. It should not move while it’s inside the tap.
