Remove the entire faucet, and I found a guy that could rebuild them. They worked great, but a total pain.
I will never live in an older house again. Our current house is 25 years old and we have been here 21 years.

Our house was built in 1944 and is just as you say! NOTHING is standard  39 years and still dealing with it, and don't get me started on drains!!
