The hardest part about this fix is getting to it.
Tightening a wiggly kitchen faucet is as simple as tightening a bolt: it's getting to it that's the tough part.
First, clear out some space and do whatever have to do to get comfortable.
The bolt you need to get to is behind your sink, so you wont have a lot of space to work with.
You may have to try several different tools to tighten the bolt. Channel locks, a large wrench, or in my case, vice grips.


I was only able to move mine about a millimeter at a time, but taking the time definitely helped!
