Hi guys
Just my luck - my hose faucet / bib was leaking. After looking up some diy I swung at it today. Went so well starting off -

Removed the inner shaft exposing the worn out gasket- noticed was a beveled gasket - tried a smaller one that matched still got the leaks - then went up to 1/2 which still leaked

Then as I was removing again thinking it's probably the Oring gasket of the hand valve - look what came out - I can't tell if the shaft broke leaving the gasket side in - or disassembled somehow

The good news - it's stuck in there at the closed position so no water is running out the hose faucet

It leads into the basement bathroom - there is no seperate hand valve for it

So I have no idea what to do now

here are some pics




 
I was afraid of that .. So only option now is to open up drywall on other side and get to it to replace huh
