Yeah I have an old American Standard faucet fro the Tub and Shower

Just bought a kit to rebuild them..

My house was built in 1939 and these are originals..

Took a while to find the right ones...

Found these in California that look good

Do yours measure the same?

Be sure to use plenty of heat proof plumbing grease.

They look the same as mine from what I remember the last time I had it open..

I just never replace the seats before..

Was just wondering if they would be hard to get out after 60 years...LOL

Then once you receive the replacement parts you sound like you're good to go.
