We bought a new Hot/Cold stem 11k-3H/C and a Hot Stem 1Z-6H. We are
having the toughest time trying to put it in. The guy from the plumbing
supply store said it's really tricky and many experienced plumbers have
a hard time getting it right. Every time we tighten it the handle just
turns and turns but never tightens. Does anyone know of a site where I
can get step by step instructions on installing this faucet handle?

What an odd question. Didn't it come with instructions? How about a
toll-free tech support number?

Yeah, I figured it was a shot in the dark but I spent all day trying to
fix it and it was terribly frustrating that after trying to fix to old
one then buying a new one 5 hours later I am stuck with the same slow
drip I started the day with. The part was made by Danco and there is no
toll free number, just thought I'd take a shot here before calling a
plumber.

Or, go get a Moen faucet and experience true happiness. The instructions are
"international", mostly pictures, but they're very well done. Their tech
support is superb, too.

Just curious what's the brand again? I would return it and get another
one...
