1. Lift the spout off of the faucet.

2. Match the corresponding spout O-rings on the valve body with a spout O-ring from the parts kit. The 96778 kit comes with 2 small and 1 lager O-ring and a pack of silicone lubricate.

3. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pull each spout O-ring off from their respective groove in the valve body. (We recommend using a soft tip marker to mark where the original spout O-ring was removed from for proper placement of the new spout O-ring.)

4. Apply a thin layer from the supplied pack of silicone lubricate to each rubber spout O-ring.

5. Slide each spout O-ring onto the valve body and into the correct groove. (The lower spout O-ring does not go over the holes in the valve body.
