Question:

Bathroom sink faucet handle broken?

Our bathroom sink faucet handles only turn 1/4 turn, and work fine that way. But, when fixing a leak, I turned it too hard, and something broke, so now it will turn all the way around. And, because it turns all the way around, it won't unscrew to come off to fix the next leak. What did I break and how would I get it off now?

Answer:

I was searching on net for a web site about bathroom sink faucet and i found this one . If you want to learn more about that be free to visit the page.
turn off water underneath the sink - there are two small cutoff valves called stops. Get a lavatory wrench about $8 to access the nuts under the sink.; these make the job easier. Unhook the hot and cold supply lines, usually brass or rubber. Loosen the nuts that hold the faucet assembly to the sink. Disconnect the popup valve (drain stopper) if it has one. Now, lift the faucet off of the sink and you can access the handle to remove. Find replacement handles, but if the faucet is very old and not an antique, just get a new one that fits your sink. Cost ranges from $20.00 to $100 or more, depending on how fancy you want.
