Replacing outdoor faucet, cemented in the wall
 

One of the outdoor faucets just started leaking....very slow....but leaking.

It is one of three outdoor faucets. Normally an easy DIY but the connection of these faucets are cemented into the wall with no apparent way to get at the connection without starting to chip away the cement.

I thought I would get educated before pursuing a plumber.

It’s the rubber seal inside the faucet that’s failing DIY fix.
Think smarter not harder.

I agree with previous comments, if you go to ACE hardware they should be able to get you BOTH the shaft seal and the valve seat seal, then you need to turn off the house water (typically in the garage), and bleed off the pressure by opening the hose faucet. Once the water stops running, remove the valve shaft assembly, replace the 2 seals and reinstall the valve shaft assembly and you should be good to go.

It is unlikely that the faucet is cemented into the wall. There should be 2 screws that attach the faucet to the wall. These screws may be hidden by some excess stucco material or the cement finish material. I agree with other posters that it is likely that you can repair the leak without replacing the entire faucet. But, if you do need to replace the faucet, I think you will be able to do it without extensive removal of cement or concrete.
