Anyone with plumbing knowledge? :)
In a nutshell, i had a leaking faucet in my bathroom. Ok, fine, i go get a new faucet, new lines, plumbers tape, all the shit. When i started on this project, i noticed one of the main feeds to the sink would not break lose, but the other one turns fine. I shot it with some wd-40 and let it set, and it moved, finally.

So, the water is off i install everything and turn the mains back on... no water pressure at all to that sink.

The toilet works fine, the shower is a-ok.. whats the deal?

I checked for a pinch in the new lines etc. Any ideas? Seemingly simple project.

The valve is about 30 years old, i am wondering if the ball valve inside got stuck and not allowing pressure?

1. If the lines are OK, you probably got a faulty faucet.
Work backward from what you did. Unhook the faucet, and see if the lines are delivering water. Make sure you have a towel nearby when the water comes gushing out.
