Have a delta single pull out faucet. Was leaking so replaced springs, rubber seats and rubber O rings. Ball stem is fine no problems so just kept that. Once got everything replaced and turned water on from under sink, NO water came out of the faucet. Would the silicon grease plug anything up if put too much in? Are the seats and springs causing no water? I have no clue and really don't want to call a plumber. Thanks for any help.

You can try on the end of the faucet where the water comes out, see if that will unscrew. if it does put a cloth around it so you dont scratch it and take it off with adjustable wrench and clean the screen out.
There are screens inside that get's plugged up sometime.

took the very end off and cleaned that screen...nothing still
The end of faucet pulls out and is huge like a shower head. I am trying to take that off and see if that is clogged, not coming off though. Water is not getting to that hose. It is coming out where the rubber seats are just not down that tube to the pull out.

I'm guessin the ball may be upside down? Though I think that just reverses the H and C. Check it anyway, make sure its in right.
Hmm, just saw yer new post. Ok I was just getting ready to say diverter, but don't think you have one in a pull out spout.

The ball has a stem on it, so can only go in 1 way. End of faucet is not coming apart and took off only screen on the end and with that off still no water coming out, not even a drip???? Have no clue why water getting to the area where the ball is but not coming out??? Very frustrating

Not so familiar with the pull out sprayer types (though I have 2 in this house, so I will be in the future).
So the ball/valve assy has a little tab that only allows it to go in one way?
I know the older deltas could be installed 180 degrees out (top to bottom and vice versa)

Yes only one way. On the faucet body where the rubber seats/springs are to the right is a little tit that the ball stem fits on, and if not put in that way, it won't fit.

Gotcha...couldn't see that much detail on the parts diagram.
Well, the only thing I can say, to eliminate anything else, is disconnect the sprayer from the hose and see what happens.
I know some brands you can't do that, the spray head is permanant to the hose, in which case I'd disconnect the hose underneath and see what happens.
