I am trying to replace bathroom faucets. The
screws are stripped. Is there any easy way
to remove a stripped a screw? Thanks in advance.

Probably have to drill out with smaller bit. Good Luck!

Many thanks, thought that may be the only
cure. Next was the hammer.

JVC:

If you can get the jaws of a pair of side cutters onto the head of that screw, grip them hard enough to make a lasting impression on that brass screw, and try to twist it out.

Cannot Remove Compression Ring off of Copper going toward the toilet

T

trydel on Sep 14, 2000

I noticed that the shut off valve to the toilet was leaking so I took everything apart, but I was unable to remove the compression ring off of the copper. I want to replace the whole shut off valve. How can I remove that compression ring without damaging the copper pipe? I would really appreciate your help. Thanks, Tom tom.rydel@guidant.com

TOILET TROUBLES

on Sep 13, 2000

I need help! I have a toilet that has worked great until recently. It won't flush properly on a consistent basis. It might flush 2 or 3 times in a row then it might not flush for 5 or 6 times without the help of a plunger. We have replaced the "guts" in the tank, replaced the wax seal and now we're not sure what to do! Could it possibly be a partial blockage? Would using a snake help?
