shower faucet handle/knob replacement
Jim Edwards:
Your welcome Just bring the old handle with you. They have a wall of them and it helps to compare how they connect.
Good luck!
Stan Simpson:
Jim,
I tried to take the existing shower handle off. Picture one shows it with the flange loose from the wall. The sleeve that has a red arrow pointing to it, turns. Is that something that unscrews to get the handle off? I turned it for quite some time. It didn't seem to be coming unscrewed. Picture 2 shows the handle in the off position, with the flange loose from the wall. (the flange does not come off the handle, the hole is too small) The flange doesn't come off over the handle, so I'm guessing it comes off the rear after the shaft is off. The red arrow is pointing to a slot of some sort. Perhaps I have to pry that to get the shaft off there. I don't want to break anything. Can you tell me how yours came off?
Thanks for any ideas.
Joel Ashley:
I'd be interested in how this replacement works out, since we have the same troublesome handle. Haven't attempted anything yet, so am curious also how you disassembled things, Jim. I'm guessing there's an Allen screw under the handle holding it on the valve shaft, and Stan hasn't noticed it yet, but I've not actually looked for one yet myself.
It would be an optimal solution, since behind my shower plumbing wall is kitchen tile and the microwave; perhaps not as accessible to the valve assembly as a mirror.

Jim,
There is a set screw under the handle.

Stan,
Sorry, I should have addressed the last post to you.
