Look for a small hole in the bottom of the faucet handle,, it holds a allen type or a slotted screw for retaining the handle,, ( more than likely on a moen or Kohler its going to be a allen head,) ,, remove that and your handle should come off

SOURCE: delta faucet is loose ;moves right-left/wobbles. Tightening?

Try tightening the allen set screw behind the spout "you need a special (allen keys) to do this, and one should have came with your faucet". You can also buy or borrow an set of them.

How do I tighten a handle on an upright Kirby vacuum?

Your question isn't specific enough. The upper handle grip has a bolt through the upper cord wrap that can be tightened. The lower handle has 2 bolts, but they rarely get loose. If you're concerned with the way the handle wobbles side to side at the base, that's normal. If you want a better diagnosis, take it to your local vac shop to have it looked at.

The handle bar on our mutsy is wobbly, have tried to tighten screws on the top of bar but makes no difference. Please help!

The harware on the top of the handle bar are rivets, there is no way to really tighten these. It is possible that there is a broken mechanism in the handle bar causing it be loose. The only solution for that is replacing the handle bar. If you need assistance getting a replacement part please email me directily at [email protected]

Remove the plastic red and blue insert or what ever color yours is under the handle in the front. Tighten the set screw with an allen wrench. Be careful not to over tighten or the screw will break off.

Hi, There should be an easier way here. With the handle off, look down along the valve stem to where it goes on into the valve body. You should see a six-sided nut surrounding the valve stem. This nut is the packing gland. It allows the valve to function without leaking. You should be able to tighten the packing gland and take the wobble out of the valves. It's a trade off though, the tighter tha packing gland, the less the valve wobbles, but the valve will get harder to operate. You'll have to make your own judgement call as to how tight you want it.
Best regards, --W/D--

Window crank wobble.

very well could be that the teeth on the handle are stripped. if you take the door apart, all it is is a pin that holds the handle on. really no tightening
