    Hi joey
    Welcome to AMHD.

    Hot or cold water?

    Shut water off to house and remove knob.

    Remove spindle(may need a special socket type tool) and replace washer. Check the seat by putting finger in hole and feel if smooth. If not then the seat will have to be replaced also. This also takes a special tool.

    After doing these things put back together. Don't have pic of tools. Maybe one of the plumbers will come by a post a pic.
