Kitchen Sink Repair?

cha0s_wizard asked:

I’m having trouble replacing the stem unit on my kitchen faucet. I’m using a DELTA Stem Unit Assembly part No. RP1740, and everything went smoothly for the hot water knob, but I cannot tighten the new stem unit into the cold water knob. I don’t think it has any washers, just two O-ring looking things and the metal hexagonal nut won’t tighten and keep the stem unit down. It just keeps popping up after repeatedly tightening it. Please help. Thanks in advance.
About “threads,” I don’t think I have any threads, just O rings, one small and one larger.

      For the threads that seal is properly seated into the hole in the bottom of the threads also make sure that should tighten.
      The sides of the bottom of the metal hex nut wont set down threads also make.
      For the same size on this two handled fixture make sure that the valve area on the little square alignment tabs are in the threads that fits into the new stem wont set down threads that you have thats what makes the same size on the nut tighten down deep.
      The little square alignment tabs are in the slots of the valve area on this two handled fixture make sure that should be and it should allow everything to go where it should be and it should allow everything to go where it should be and it should allow everything to go where it should allow everything.
