Leaky kitchen faucet

I de-winterized the trailer today. Always a fun thing to do since it means camping season is upon us. Everything was fine except I found that the kitchen faucet was leaking. I have pulled the center handle off and it appears water is coming up from the center as shown in the picture. There is probably a gasket down in there that has cracked but I don't know. I don't have the proper sized socket to get the center part out. It looks like a 7/8" socket might work (since a 15/16" was just a little too big).

Should I try to fix it or just get a new faucet? Getting to the connections won't be all that easy either.

  • It is a single lever faucet. Have no idea who made it. It is on a Forest River Flagstaff 831FLSS. Who ever had the best prices on cheap faucets was what was put in that day.
  • Need more info
    Is it a single lever faucet or two separate ones.
    By your description it sounds like a single handle one.
    If it is, you might want to try turning that outside ring counter clockwise. and go from there. If it was a Delta I could walk you through the whole process, but it looks like some weird make.

    For what it is worth, I just replaced our kitchen faucet in our travel trailer with a double handle Delta one with a high goose neck spout.
    It was the easiest plumbing job I have ever done, and there were no tools required
    The whole job including taking out the old faucet took about fifteen minutes or less
