In what order do I put the retaining nut, pivot ball, and gasket/washer in order to prevent leaks?

By far, the best DIY / "How to" video I've seen on KZread: straight to the point, no extraneous or irrelevant information, and no :40 second long open with over-produced graphics and obnoxiously-loud music. Just a great, simple, well-shot, step-by-step information. Thank you sir for keeping DIY videos worth watching. Cheers.

Awesome video!! Almost paid a plumber $200 bucks to do this and with zero plumbing skills knocked this out for 3 sinks in 30 minutes. Excellent video was spot on every step of the way.

Thanks. Right to the point. No bs, no trying to be a comedian, and no awful annoying music. Thumbs up.

You made it look so simple. By making the video about the process and not about you, you actually are the hero of the video, you are awesome!

This is made 7 years ago!! So clear, no fluff, step by step. Just awesome!!! Thumbs up and thank you!

This is one of the best DIY videos I've seen. Not a lot of talk, just straight to the point with easy instructions, short but very informative. Unlike others who are either frustrated stand up comedians or preachers.

You are amazing. Rarely is a KZread video so clear and concise. You should make how to videos for literally everything. What a hero.

Man-oh-man, this is exactly what I needed! This video is the standard against which all other "how to" videos should be measured: no long digressions on irrelevant information, excellent video capture that shows every detail, and clear and simple step-by-step instructions. Absolutely perfect -- thanks for posting this!

Agree many of those how to videos are on high speed cant see how to do anything..worthless videos ..

Happiness is finding a tutorial by a professional plumber and movie producer. Perfect...thanks!

Plumbing is not something I like to do because I don't know much about it. KZread and people like you are the reason I can do any of this. Thank you for posting this video and keeping me from wasting all day on replacing a bathroom faucet and drain!

This is brilliant, your vid was next to another vid which was explaining the same procedure but was 18 mins long (probably 8 minutes saying how i should subscribe or my life will be shit for the next 30 years and 6 minutes talking about what his cat done yesterday) then 4 mins talking about the actual task at hand!! This guy is straight to the point!! Cheers.

Need to replace mine. Your video is easy to follow and to the point. Shows what I need to know. Not a lot of filler. THANK YOU SIR!!!!

Thank you, I'm having issues with my sinks at work and wasn't sure how to go about fixing them. You made my day.👍🏼

So many things I didn’t know could be easily replaced… I’m so thankful for KZread videos like this one!

Probably the best video I’ve seen. No small details overlooked.

Right to the point, no annoying intro...great content for people who value their time.

LOVE how clear and concise this was!! No wasted time, told me everything I needed! Please make other videos of things you know how to do!

I agree with these other recent comments. You make it so easy to understand and to the point. Thank you for giving me the confidence to actually do a sink drain repair myself! Looking forward to seeing some of your other repair videos.

Have to agree with all of the comments about this being the best DIY video. I wish all of the DIY Vloggers would watch this video as a template for how to make a DIY video. Very clear, precise and concise. Well done Lou !!!

Now, THIS is what a perfect video looks like. Straight to the point and no BS.

This is the PERFECT video. It concisely explains and shows how to replace your drain, and answers all the questions that are likely to come up.

Thank you for getting right to the point and not dragging this out. Very concise, and to the point!

Very clear explanation. This is how all "How to" videos should be. Thank you.

Best, most concise repair demonstration I have seen. Thank you!

Incredibly helpful, informative, in-depth yet concise. Thank you very much.

Thank, man, simple set of instructions and I'm off to Lowes for a replacement sink drain. I'll be certain to check out your other videos.

Why does anybody want to install a pop-up drain these days is beyond me. Nobody blocks the sink and washes his/her face in the water in the sink, where somebody may have washed his hands after number 2. Pop-up sink drain should be discontinued. In any case this is the best video of this type I have seen. Man, you know how to explain things.

You provide incredibly clear and concise explanations. Way to go Lou!

Thank you so much for a simple explanation video that was right to the point. Without your step by step help I would have never been able to fix my faucet drain correctly and so quickly... only took me 20 minutes... that's pretty good for a girl lol. I'll definitely be watching more of your "how to" videos in the future if needed!!

Thank you. Very informative and well explained. I feel confident performing my own bathroom sink repair now :)

Thank you Lou, really good instruction, very clear. My old drain did not come out very pretty like yours did, it was installed 30 years ago, metal, but I eventually got it out and the new drain in following your instructions.

Thank you so much for such clear and concise step by step instruction. I have to replace three sinks and was dreading the task. Now, with your help, I don't sweat it at all. I am subscribing to your channel because we are moving to a fixer-upper in the country and I think you will be my mentor. Thanks again.

Awesome video! Clear and concise! Tackled the first drain successfully. Two more to go!

The one video I jus watched doing the same thing and he made it look very hard. I'm glad I found your vid because you made it look simple....thanks Lou you just gained a sub!

Sir., you deserve """the great video award""" Thank you!

You are wonderful !! It was easy to understand and follow, very well explained! Thank you!!! I think my drain is about 25 years old al least so it is not coming out as easy as yours but I am heading to the 1780 barn to look for a plumbers wrench to see if that will be able to pull down and twist the drain. Thanks for not starting so far in the beginning that we had to watch a bunch of stupid info before the real how to video.

Great. Simple to do now you have shown us. It is empowering! I just changed a door handle to the garage/kitchen. I think I'll do this in the kitchen halfbath . Thanks.

Thanks Lou! I was stuck at the third nut, because it turns out instead of a nut, it was a pressure clip. I now have the old one out, and will install the new one easily as soon as I get to the store. Thanks again!

Thanks for the quick and concise editing! It's great.

You are to be commended for putting together a well done, direct-to-the-point video. The only thing I would add is that to ensure a tight, leak-proof seal - add plumber's putty between the sink and cap.

+rvalens2 Thank you. Actually, since there is a tight rubber washer on the bottom of the sink, plumbers putty is not required. I have done many sinks this way and have never had a leak.

I missed seeing that in the video. I went back and sure enough the rubber washer is there. Unfortunately, where I live we have extremely hard water and if you don't use plumber's putty eventually the buildup of calcium causes a leak. Thanks again for a great video.

This is one of the best DIY videos. Direct to the point, thank you.

I like the way you explained things in this project. I tend to have a natural tendency to install things in backwards and I'm planning on replacing my sink drain. I will use this vid as a guide... it should help me pay more attention to the orientation of the parts.

Thank you so much for this video, my drain was clogged for over a week now and after I pulled the parts I quickly cleaned it and now we back in business 😁🤝🏽🤝🏽

I’m glad the procedure was no different here in Germany. I had to use a couple of the old parts because the gaskets that came with the new drain leaked. You never know what you’ll run into even with new parts. Thanks for this helpful video.

GREAT video. Straight forward and a good refresher before I get to work replacing mine. THANKS!

Nice clear instructions. Well done. Good editing. No frills. Love it.

Thank you so much for this instructional video. I was stuck on how to do what was needed and this really helped me install the drain. I appreciate it very much.

A very good instructional video. Good lighting and audio and clear instructions. Thank you sir!

Finally, someone who knows how to show what he is doing instead of the back of his hand turning something.

I was replacing the entire lavatory faucet in my guest bathroom ( wanted to update it from old fashioned chrome to a more current Oil Rubbed Bronze style ) and the instructions that came with the faucet were "pictures only", no real explanation. I have never attempted "plumbing" on my own and your video helped me tremendously at the part where I needed to replace the sink drain. Thank you Thank you Thank you !

Very good teaching video. Well organized, to the point, explained well and clearly, and helpful tips on what to look out for...greatly appreciate !

Thanks! I just moved to a new property and had this exact same problem! Simple step by step and easy to follow! Much appreciated!

Great details and clear instructions. Thank you!

Exactly what I needed. Excellent video. Great instructions without a lot of blah, blah, blah. Thank you, Lou!

Well done, sir! Well written. Well produced, lit and shot!

My head-cracking, back tweaking days are behind me (insert plumbers butt emoji) but I just wanted to say thank you for the clear, snappy, concise instructions, Lou. You rock!

Thank you! Everyone already said it, your video is so clear and easy to follow. Thank you very much!!!

bro, you are so super detailed, you answer questions i didn't even think i'd have..great work bro, i just had to comment, thank you

Finally! A video that shows how to stop the drain from spinning when trying to get the nut off. Thank you.

Thanks for the awesome video man. I had to take out the plug to our pop up drain and was having such a trouble, this video helped me get the plug out, as every other trick I tried did not work.

Thank you! I think I might be able to accomplish this repair on my own! Saves me money. I think I will buy some silicone as well to chalk the basin part of the drain.

Thank you for helping this single woman who needed to clean her drain!

Wow, that was impressive!!! You are fantastic at explaining how things work.

This is the best tutorial on the internet! Thank you very much and keep it up!

Thank you. You solved my clogged drain problem in 1 minute and 29 seconds!

I don’t even have a broken sink but I enjoy watching you fix this because you’re so straight to the point! Subscribed for future reference.

Phenomenal! concise, clearly spoken, to the point!!! Moms can do anything especially with guidance like this! (Frankly it probably helps some dads too;) Not a whole lot of blah blah blah

Thanks for the great video I was a little worried about doing this job but it turned out to be pretty simple. Did need to use plumber's putty to seal but worked fine.

Nicely done video good lighting and of course to the point info thanks.

Fantastic Intro and simple to follow video. Thank you.

Great clear video. Thank you so much

Wow, Great video man! Watched alot of DYI videos and none hold a candle to this one!

Thank you so much! I have wanted this done for so long. As wife I can do without waiting. I can even get confidence to buy new vanity and replace old one in mountain home!

Excellent presentation, with very clear instructions, explanations and visuals.

Well done video. I would test for leaks when you're "done." Fill the basin till it's full and overflowing through the overflow hole, then unstop the drain. Let 'er rip. Do this two or three times to make sure such water surges don't leak by any of the gaskets and threads. And don't use pipe dope or plumber's putty on plastic.

Why is there plumber's putty on all of my pipes where they screw together (like at the u-pipes)?

Great video Lou! My metal pop up drain rusted a hole through the side!

Excellent video. Born to be a teacher. Thank you!

I have changed numerous of these. Your video was GREAT. Loved it. Got my attention due to the quality. You have a new subscriber

This was the best diy video I have ever seen.

Thank you! Easy to follow, and i had my drain replaced in no time.

Very nice and thorough step by step in following directions!😊

Awesomely clear and concise. You have a gift.

Perfectly created instruction video. Excellent work!!

Very clear instructions with some excellent tips! Thank you.

I love u bro. Ur so cool and i love how u get right to the steps of what to do. No long storys or saying hiz lol.

thank you so very much for doing this and making it all so clear to see and understand!!

Great and clear, concise video...so easy to follow.

Excellent - accurate and concise. I appreciate to the point advice without a lot of wind up.....

This video was very informative to watch! Thank you! 👍🏻

Thank you so much! yours was the best vid for this I've seen.

Thank you I'm fixing to have to do this. You make it look easy! I will probably flood my bathroom but hopefully not. Great video and thanks

Concise and easy to follow along.Thank-you!

Thanks for this. My drain had been in the sink since 1988 and was all brass. It was completely corroded where it screws together. I tried Liquid Wrench but that did nothing. I hurt myself by putting so much torque on it. The drain ended up parting at the threads. Thank goodness because I could not get it out at all. I have another one to do today. Wish me luck.

We were struggling for quite awhile trying to get the drain part out.. using everything we could think of to hold that part .. I turned to KZread and saw to stick the pliers in the hole and hold it that way. Poof we did it. Thanks so much, it was getting frustrating!

Wow, very clear instructions. Thank you so much...I know where to go to get help next time.

This is a great video, it's so clear and with helpful tips. Thank you

BEST “HOW TO” VIDEO EVER.

Very clear and concise. Thank you.

Thanks. Saved me at least an hour of frustration.
