[C320-list] No hot water pressure

[Chris Burti]

They make a cheap tool (sold at Lowes) to reach those faucet nuts.

Thanks,

Thanks for the tips. Got the quick connect fittings off. Found out I have 
good water pressure all the way to the faucets. I even cleaned out the metal 
tubes leading to the galley faucet with a piece of piano wire. But still ... 
no hot water coming out of the faucet.

Apparently, some rust from the water tank or other matter has collected in 
the faucet mixer, blocking the hot water channel in the galley and the head. 
What are the odds?

This should be easy, I thought. Just clean or replace the faucet. Ha. I 
figured out how to remove the spout, but couldn't clear the channel. I also 
couldn't figure out how to to remove the faucet handles to get at the 
innards. Any ideas?

And I also took a look at where the brass nut locking the galley faucet in 
place is. Way, way up there behind the deep sinks and no easy way to get at 
it. Of course, it wasn't hand tightened by Catalina, or maybe the brass 
welded together. Anyway, it's going to take a good grip with a pliers or 
something similar.

Anyone do this before?
