Hi! I have a newbee question: I am having a tough time installing the pair of seats and springs into my Delta Faucet.
There is a trick that I am perhaps missing, making the install painful.
Details:
In attempting to repair a bathroom faucet, I have purchased a package, pretty standard, that contains 2 of each: a cylindrical spring, a kinda conical spring with a smaller diameter at one end than the other, and a cylindrical rubber seat with inner diameter of one end smaller than the other end.
The shower faucet is already installed and cannot be removed. Now the place where the spring & seat go is itself slanted downwards. So the spring and seat don't stay in place, keep sliding or popping off and I don't have enough thin fingers to hold these in place to allow me to put the ball back on.
Any ideas? At this point,
I am also not sure in what order the spring and seat go and which face of the seat faces outword. The spring I pulled was the cylindrical type.
I've search this forum but did not find any previous thread that provides the specifics I am looking for. Thanx in advance for any help or pointers.
