Suave, Study the image I've put up and follow these instructions. You will want to purchase a pair of Delta seats & springs DElta # 4993, To install them, just follow directions. For Delta shower and lavatory valves, this is how to fix them. First you want to remove the handle, the screw is located underneath the button on the handle. After the handle has been taken off there should be a little piece of metal sticking out from a metal housing. You then need to remove the metal housing that should have a place to grip onto. After the metal housing is off you should be able to see a metal or plastic ball. Remove this ball and under it should be two little washers and springs underneath them. You will need to replace the little washers and springs and possibly need to replace the ball. When putting this assembly back together be sure to follow these instructions: Make sure when putting the ball back in place to align the grove in the ball with the brass pin in the valve body. Also make sure to align the tab on the plastic piece that goes over the ball with the grove in the brass body. Then place the metal cap back on the valve. Good luck, Tom

I have all the parts I need. The image with the ball does not look like anything I have.
The spring and the wahser looks correct. My delta stem does not look like that.
What am I missing?

It's not what you're missing, It's what we're missing. And that's the model number of your valve so we can put up a diagram to assist you. Can you furnish us with a model number or a detailed description? Cheers, Tom

This is a list of my parts
RP18136 SLEEVE
RP25592 EXTENDER FOR DIVERTER HANDLE
RP1740 STEM UNIT ASSEMBLY
RP4993 SEATS AND SPRINGS

After I install, the faucet is staying on and not shutting off when I turn off shut off valve.
What am I doing wrong. I still think I am not putting the seats and springs in the correct way
Please help
