HOW TO GET A STUCK SHOWER WATER DIVERTER OUT

Valve Stem Diverters

1、Turn off the water for the entire house by closing the main water valve. Release the water pressure left in the supply pipes by turning on another tap all the way.

2、Pry off the cap in the center of the diverter control handle, exposing the screw in the middle of the handle. Turn the screw counterclockwise with a Phillips screwdriver and pull the handle toward you to remove it from the waterfall taps.

3、Spray penetrating lubricant around the edges of the diverter stem where it threads into the tap. After waiting five minutes or more, slide a bath socket wrench over the diverter stem and turn the stem counterclockwise until it comes out of the tap.

4、Insert a seat wrench into the spot where the diverter valve stem sat and turn it counterclockwise to remove the old seat as well. Coat the threads on the new seat with pipe dope before threading it back into the tap with the seat wrench.

5、Coat the outside of the new diverter valve with plumber’s grease before threading it into the tap with the bath socket wrench. Insert the control handle over the diverter valve stem and tighten the screw in the middle. Press the plastic cap back into place. Turn the main water valve for the house slowly to the open position.

Spout-Integrated Diverters
1、Look at the underside of the bathtub spout for the presence of a retaining screw, which may sit in a notched-out section of the spout or a small hole. If you see a screw, remove it with an Allen wrench and pull on the spout as you twist it back and forth to wiggle the spout off the water pipe.

2、Turn the spout counterclockwise if you do not see a screw, since this indicates the spout threads onto the led taps pipe. If the spout is hard to turn by hand, slide a strap wrench around it and use the wrench to turn it counterclockwise.

3、Slide the new spout onto the water pipe and tighten the retaining screw, if the old spout had a retaining screw. Otherwise, thread the spout clockwise onto the water pipe, using the strap wrench to turn the spout until it touches the bathtub surround.
