In our master bathroom, we have lots of hot water, but no water coming through the spigot. I've checked the lines and even though we had some frozen pipes a couple of weeks ago, the lines to the bathroom are not frozen.

The water line to the bathroom feeds the sink and tub... the sink is working fine. I have noticed some sediment coming from the bathroom sink.

I'm wondering if there is some sediment "stuck" in the cold water valve of the bathtub. I cannot access the line between the sink and tub without taking up the floor.

Is there a way to safely remove the water valves in the tub to check it for sediment?

Turn off water.
Remove cold water handle.
Remove any faucet trim.
Remove cold water stem.
