Jonah - this video was SO helpful. I needed to fix a loose KWC (high end Swiss faucet installed by previous condo unit owner). The sink and faucet designs are a bit different from your video, but the essential layouts were similar enough that your video helped me tighten the KWC version of the main nut. Again layout was different, but I learned enough from your video to be creative. Thanks again. Great service that you are providing! I left a thumbs-up. BTW -I tried a basin wrench, and there was no room for it. My other wrenches were worthless too. I was able to do a good hand-tightening that was enough. You are a 😇!

Good as far as it goes, but recommended: (a) never use an adjustable wrench (e.g., "monkey wrench") to tighten a nut. Acquire a wrench the exact size of the nut you're tightening; and (b) use Loctite 272 to coat the part of the thread the nut will be over when tightened, then tighten the nut. As it is done here, the nut is not completely tight and it will loosen again very soon, due to the forces applied to the assembly when the faucet is moved left-to-right and the reverse.

As you're tightening the nut, is the washer against the plywood? Because mine is exactly as yours in this video, and every time I go in to tighten the nut, the washer rotates with it. I think i need a plate between the washer and the plywood for the washer to grip so I can tighten the faucet. Its a big headache. Every time I use the faucet, it loosens. Should I buy a new faucet. I paid close to $1000 for this. I'm never buying anything expensive again.

You installed the faucet incorrectly in the first place. You are supposed to caulk around all the points where the water can get in (the three holes under the faucet). Water in getting in those holes and rotting out your fiberboard counter top. That is why the nut is loose.
