Turn off water. Support Pipe as you remove & Replace faucet. Use plastic thread Tape. Enjoy.
Hi nanci, You may just need to tighten the screw in the middle of the on/off valve.
If this doesn't do it, here's a how to video: https://www.google.com/search?q=How+do+I+repair%2Freplace+valve+turn+off+on+leaky+outdoor+faucets%3F&oq=How+do+I+repair%2Freplace+valve+turn+off+on+leaky+outdoor+faucets%3F&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=1
Good luck!
It isn't hard to do, hubby has done it many times. Above suggestions are really good.
Easy way - Buy a threaded ball valve adapter, screw on to existing outlet, attach hose. You are fixed. Leave faucet handle turned on and the lever on ball valve turned off until needed. I have done this on many outdoor faucets on 1970 vintage houses where the handle threads have worn out.
I think this will help! https://www.todayshomeowner.com/video/how-to-repair-a-leaking-outdoor-faucet-hose-bib/
Thank you so much. Fixed one water outlet by tightening bank around faucet. BUT, one leaks even when water off. So, I will try your solution on that one.
