Hi guys,
We have a spread faucet in our bathroom. I replaced the cartridges in the handles and put new set screws in the handles. I thought everything was hunky dorey but apparently the faucet itself is loose. I don't see any set screw on the part of the faucet that stays on top of the counter.
So underneath is this t-bar that if you move it, the faucet moves so it doesn't sit straight on the sink. It's not a big deal, but I thought if I could tighten it myself without too much effort, I would try it.
I have very little knowledge of plumbing and my husband won't get involved (which really isn't a bad thing since the last time he tried to fix something he broke a pipe).
The nut that looks like it's the one that needs to be tightened has 5 sides. I took a picture and circled that nut. I also uploaded a picture of the top of the sink.
Can anyone tell me if that's the right thing to tighten and what tool I would use, and lastly could a not too skilled person do it? I googled and found something called a basin wrench but have no idea what size to get or if that's what I need. Thanks!
