I have a hose bib that is leaking from the spout. I removed the handle in an effort to replace the washer on the stem, but the inside did not look like I was expecting. I have two questions:

  1. Is this leaking hose bib repairable from the outside of the house, or will I have to cut into a wall on the inside of the house?

  2. If the hose bib is not repairable from the outside, is it replaceable from the outside, or will I have to cut into a wall on the inside of the house?

It is a Woodford outdoor faucet. They sell the kits to repair it, and it can be done in-place, without removing the whole valve body. Just search online for "Woodford outdoor faucet repair kit" and you will see several suppliers selling them. An example. Make sure to get the right one for your model number.

Then here's a YouTube video showing how to do the replacement from the outside.

Cheers.
