I tried to open the housing to get at the washer which I suspect is bad, but it's on pretty tight and I was worried about damaging the pipe in the wall, even with using a pipe wrench to try and hold it still. I also opened up the other nut and tried repacking it, but that didn't help. Is my only real option to hire a plumber to replace the whole thing? I'm pretty sure its soldered on so I don't think that's something I can tackle myself. submitted by /u/SpecificRutabaga [link] [comments]
