    Can you tell me how the sections are joined together? Are they glued or are they interlocked? Why do you wish to remove the section? Back to you, Tom

    Yeah, we need more information to answer you. Are you trying to replace the shower valve? If you are trying to replace the shower valve then they make REMODELER'S PLATES that allow the valve to be replaced WITHOUT having to disturb the tub/shower walls in most cases...;)

    Back to you...
