    Change out Briggs brand shower hot/cold handles/knobs
    How can I change out my Briggs brand shower hot/cold knobs? I have taken off the plastic
    Hot/cold indicator and unscrewed the screw. The handles won't come off. All I can see is
    A metal cylinder attached to the plastic hot/cold handle/knob.

    Hi Cathy,
    Use a handle puller for those sticky knobs. Are the knobs all that you wish to replace or are you looking to replace the entire the entire valve? Let me know, tom
