    Sink Stopper does not open
    My sink stopper doesn't not open well. The lever handle moves a little but does not affect the stopper much.
    Please advise:)

    This is a easy fix. The clevis screw,(see image) just came loose.
    Do this. Push the horizontal pivot rod down as far as it will go. Loosen the clevis screw so the stopper rod falls down. Now tighten the clevis screw and you're good to go. Good luck, Tom
