Apropos things that might need replacing...
Last week I tackled a persistent weeping from the top water branch on a low-comp head. It's been doing it for a very, very long time.
The nut came off fine but the branch needed a tap to free it - at which point it came off with the stud attached. And then I could see that there was nothing left of the lower thread and nothing left of the thread in the head. It was only rust and the perished gasket that was holding it all together.
