Another great tip, thanks for that too! I decided to pick up a faucet reseater too. I am glad I did now, because I could not find a tapered seat wrench, only a stepped one and for the life of me I could not remove the seat. I even tried a 5/16ths Allen wrench to no avail. It just seemed to slip all the way in until it hit the "L." The seat wrench was no better, it went all the way up to the hilt (the last step before the smoothness of the rest of the wrench) and at no point did I feel anything "grab." Maybe I needed a much bigger seat wrench? The first step was about a 5/16ths Allen, but it had 2 more steps to it. I would tell you the size but it does not say on the package, just that it was made by Superior Tool and it is model 03795. http://www.superiortool.com/tools/specplumbtool/03795.htm in case anyone cares. : ) Finally I just used the reseater to shave away a little of the barbs and gold colored flakes that were caked on it. Then I put a new washer back in and it appeared to solve the problem. I only watched it for a minute or so, but I think that did it. So, thanks for the help you two. I appreciate it greatly. I would still like to know what the deal is on the seat and the wrench though. I verified that it is the removable kind, I just could not remove it. -- -Lost Remove the extra words to reply by e-mail. Don't e-mail me. I am kidding. No I am not.
