Okay... maybe we are making this too hard...

If you can get the handle off, you can fix this with just a "faucet washer"...

So:

1. Shut off the water at the meter...

2. Ply off the cap that hides the screw...

3. Unscrew screw...

4. Borrow a gear puller from any mechanic friend (if need be) to pull the handle...

5. Use small screw driver or ice pick to pull out old rubber washer...

6. Find washer that looks like the one you just took out and push down the shaft...

7. Reinstall handle...

8. Turn water back on...

9. Finsihed...
