I have two leaky faucets that have corroded over the years. The faucets are for a jacuzzi style tub, but I am not sure of the actual brand name because it was original with the house and from what I can tell is unmarked.

I've taken the faucets off (as pictured) but I am not sure what to do from here. I've gone to Lowe's but without any luck or help.

I am pretty handy and I'm willing to buy tools and parts needed. I personally would like to replace all of the hardware, but I'm not sure where to start.

Any constructive help is welcome. Below is a link to the photos.

Remove stem so we can see what it looks like.

That is one of the issues I am having trouble with as well. The stem connection is corroded. Not sure if I should apply heat to remove. Any suggestions?

Checkout this video and I hope it helps you take the next step and beyond.

No heat just elbow grease and wrench.

Hello Sharper11,

Talaniman has posted an excellent link to show how to remove and install a leaking stem or cartridge, in your case you may need to apply some WD-40 and let it soak for a few minutes and try, Good Luck.

Looking at the corrosion, I would replace the whole faucet. This is a standard 8" spread roman tub faucet. Soak the brass ring at the bottom of the tub side faucet with wd40 or similar, unscrew or carefully cut the rings and the whole thing drops out the bottom. The bigger issue I see is gray poly piping with Qwest rings. Those compression fittings are known to fail. At least you have access. You can use a poly to pex adapter but will still need the crimp tool. Then you can use small pieces of Pex and sharknite fittings.

I would suggest to remove both cartridges inspect internal faucet if corrosion exist replace the whole faucet as Ma0641 says, if not clean internal also check the seats if anything wrong replace them and the cartridges with new ones, good luck.

Put a 6 point box end wrench on it and pull. It is brass, does not rust. What you see must be mineral deposits. If entire assembly tends to move, have an assistant hold the mounting nut under the tub surface.

One wrench below the tub, on brass body of the stem, and 10" channel locks on top. Grip hard and turn CCW to break the grip. It is a hardened "O" ring that is making it hard to turn. If you can, use another person to hold the stem while you are applying pressure with channel locks. This way, you get better momentum
