Lavatory sink

Someone posted that the hot water flow to their lavatory sink was slow. Ours had been that way for a couple of years.
Yesterday I took the faucet off the sink, and took it apart. There is a screen just before the hot and cold valves. on ours the screen on the hot side was about 99% plugged. It didn't look like they would come out without being destroyed, so I sprayed water through them and also used the air hose on them.
There are a couple of washer in there that keep the valve from coming apart, they need to be remove before you use a wrench to take the valve assembly out.
It works great now, full water flow.

    Very common problem and easy to fix as you posted.
