Usually there will be a packing nut , just under the lever on the cut off valve . I t will be necessary to remove the nut that holds the lever and the lever for access to the packing nut . don't over tighten the packing nut or the lever won't want to move after installation . There is no need to remove the cut off valve to attempt this adjustment . Packing is available but is a tight fit .
