Water was turned off at the curb stop using the designated wrench, and the yard hydrant was opened to relieve system pressure. The hydrant head was removed using Free-All to free rust-seized components. The head assembly and plunger rod were taken out, and the end gasket was replaced using the customer-supplied part. The rod was reinstalled, and a new hydrant head with all new components was installed using thread sealant on all threaded connections. The water was restored and the hydrant was tested, confirming proper operation with no leaks at this time.
