If your bathroom sink leaks, you can replace the pop-up in the drain. The pop-up (figure A) fits into the drain of the sink and is operated by a rod that connects to the drain. A pin on the end of the rod fits through a hole in the pop-up (figure B). The pin lowers the pop-up to hold the water or raises it to release the water from the sink.
Materials: pipe wrench
adjustable wrench
slip-joint pliers

- Clean out the sink, and place plumber's putty around the bottom of the new drain flange (figure F).
