Some people find it easier to learn what to do by watching videos instead of reading blogs or instruction manuals. Locate the set screw on the handle. This will be in a recess somewhere on the handle. To disassemble the style in picture 1, the lever will need to be removed to access the screw.

Once the lever is removed the screw can be found see picture 2. Try to evaluate what size allen wrench is going to be needed. Insert that wrench into the hole. To make sure the allen wrench is seated into the set screw, wiggle the wrench back and forth.

If the wrench does not move at all you have selected the appropriate size wrench; if the wrench moves without resistance select a different size. Select the wrench that moves the least. For the other style of trim, the set screw can be found in the recess under the lever see picture 4. Loosen the set screw and remove the handle. Next remove the chrome collar by gripping it and pulling straight back while twisting see picture 5. Grip the bonnet with your hand and twist in a counter-clockwise direction, continue until the bonnet is completely removed.

Tip: To remove the bonnet of an older valve the channel locks may need to be used as shown in the picture. Caution: Be careful not to apply excessive force when using the wrench, this will deform the bonnet when using the tongue and grove pliers.

Shown in picture 1 Tip: If the cartridge will not come out, the cartridge can be removed with tongue and grove pliers shown in picture 2 , or the needle nose pliers may also be used.

This will help the cartridge to be installed and seat in the valve body See picture 1. Locate the H that signifies the hot side of the cartridge.

When inserting the cartridge, be sure that on the H is on the hot side of the valve body, which, while facing the valve, is on the left hand side. The H is grey and raised on the cartridge, in picture 2 it was made black for viewing purposes. Align the notches of the cartridge with the indents of the valve body See picture 3. Once aligned, apply steady pressure on the cartridge until there is no gap between the notches See picture 3. Once the cartridge is installed, replace the bonnet.

Tighten by hand only, even if it was necessary to loosen the bonnet with pliers, still tighten by hand see picture 1. Slowly open the main shut off valve about half way see picture 2. Leave the faucet used to relieve the pressure open while the system is filling. Once all the air is purged and a steady stream is running out of the spout, shut all faucets off and let the system fill completely. Turn the main water shut off all the way on. Inspect the shower valve and make sure there are no leaks see picture 3.

If there is a drip repeat steps , if the leak persists call a professional. Next replace the chrome collar. Finally replace the handle and tighten the set screw. Once the shower valve is re-assembled and there are no drips you have successfully repaired your shower. Question 2 years ago on Step 8.

I am stuck on step 3. I removed the lever and then unscrewed the set screw. I am unable to remove the handle. You can see the picture I uploaded. The part circled is stuck. Tried to spray wd, but no luck. What can I do? Please help. Answer 1 year ago. I had the same problem, it's calcified rust that is causing the stem on the cartridge to be stuck on the handle, the way to get the handle off is to use vinegar or CLR soak or on the extreme end and fastest working is muriatic acid to penetrate and help dissolve the rust so it can break free when wiggling it off.

I am also stuck at the same point set screw removed handle will not come off Co-worker suggested trying to force vinegar in through the set screw hole and in form the back side to dislove built-up limescale that is apparently holding it together. Will try that tonight. Answer 2 years ago. This nut may be brass or steel. His instructions make it sound like he was removing the chrome trim sleeve with a wrench. Question 1 year ago on Introduction.

Question 3 years ago on Step 3. I just finished this repair, it went fine but I had to drill out the stripped screw in the handle and replace it with a new handle of a different style. Caution: be sure your water supply is shut off completely before attempting to replace the valve. I was able to get through the entire repair but now that everything is back together and leak-free, the hot water does not get hot. It gets warm, but not hot. There are two shower heads and faucets in this shower and the other one gets plenty hot.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Reply 2 years ago.
