How to Replace a Pop-Up Drain

I see this is the same old re-run crap that does not show how to do the job without removing the sink. I still hope he did not get paid for this.

Great, but in a real life situation with the sink attached to the wall and no way to easily get to the mechanisms of the ball joint pop up gizmo...not so easy and fun...show it on a real life sink ...while you are bending down or on your knees in a tiny sink cabinet...that's when I call the plummer or the handy man...HA

Very informative, and looks easy, but since I never done this before, I don't think I would try it by myself. Thanks for the information.

after following your instuctons,i broke the sink both hot and cold valves under the sink flooded my house,cut my hand on the broken sink.after getting back from the emergency room(16 stiches) i called my plumber,insurance company,and a marriage counselor ..............thanks

That's what I have been doing wrong in the past!! I never thought of taking the sink into the front yard!! I usually just end up on my head under the sink kissing my left shoulder because I can't move. Only to find that I have left the wrench outside. I can't wait to replace the next pop-up that goes bad.

Eric should explain how to do this in a real life situation where the stopper lever is between the trap and the wall and you are on your knees with the stopper facing away from you. I hope he did not get paid for this segment.

WoW i dont know were to start so a home owner is gonna know how to unbolt the old pedestal from the wall.
He makes it look so easy. Try doin that on a sink thats been in for 10 yrs then call me. As a plumber for 30 yrs 1 think i can tell you is never tackle a job u cant do . He doesnt explain how to reinstall the trap and the sink which is is the hardest part because the trap is hidden by the pedestal base and the usually there is no room to work so becarefull before u tackle this job

yes very easy try it with the sink installed and find out how hard it can be. I installed many pop-ups here and in Germany and very seldom I had no leak after first try. There are many more tricks to do it right . But Eric knows I guess. Crazy stuff.

very informative and easy to understand.

very interesting & useful
