Default outdoor water spicket repair

on a regular outdoor water (hose) spicket...can you just open the top of the
spicket and replace the worn seat...or do you have to replace the entire
spicket. �had a guy at the store tell me that today's pickets have the
stem/seat nut factory sealed...and if you open (break) the seal...you will
get leaking from the stem nut ?

Thanks, TR


is it leaking around the stem? the metal shaft.........

if so just tighten the packing nut, it will end the leak around the
shaft
