· #1 Posted July 25, 2021 I replaced my old tacky stella 4000XGFI handle with this and found out about the 5 different washer size. For those who have read the amazon reviews some are stating to loosen the screw if handle doesnt spin and some complains that there are slight play. I hope this helps those who plan on buying or have bought this knob You need to mix and match the washers until you find the perfect fit with the screw tightened without any gap/play in the handle knob but yet it still spins freely. Made a video for this I hope this helps. 1 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #2 Posted July 27, 2021 Add some loctite to this installation. These handles are notorious for loosening. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
