Need Help Removing a Stubborn Shower Handle

0
Asked By ShowerNinja27 On

I've replaced shower handles in the past, but this one is giving me a real headache. I've got a small hole but no visible Allen screw, just the hole itself. I've tried reaching in to find a screw, but the collar is at a weird angle, making it tough to get a grip. I've pulled and twisted the collar, but nothing's budging. Should I just keep fishing around in there? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah, from what you've described, there should be an Allen or flat head screw in there somewhere. If it's a Delta handle, you might need a 1/8" Allen wrench, but sometimes they use odd sizes too, like 7/32". Just make sure you’re using the right tool!

Thanks, I’ll double-check the size! I appreciate the tip!

It can definitely be tricky! Sometimes those Allen screws are in tight spots. Do you have a picture of the handle? It might help others provide better advice. Also, check if there's a hidden push tab that might help release it. Keep at it, you're close!
