    Glacier Bay faucet with still swivel
    I also have a Glacier Bay faucet with a very stiff swivel. I do not have the product number but it is a single handle unit with a soap dispenser installed in 2006. Is this fixable with a replacement part?

    Remove the handle and the dome part, clean inside and apply some Dw-40 install the dome and the handle, good luck.

    Great advice from afaroo,
    However I* would remove the handle and the dome. This gets you down to a retaining nut. Umscrew that and pull the spout up and out,( a spout that turned hard was your complaint wasn't it?) Clean the inside of the spout and the valve body and the purchase some Silicon Jel,( Any petroleum product such as Vaseline will rot Neoprene "O" Rings) and lube both the inside of the spout and the post it will fit over.
    Reassemble and test. Does it swing better now? Good luck and thanks for rating my reply, Tom
