I'm assuming the "little lever" is on a spout.  I'm going to put up two diverter spouts. One is a Delta spoutand the other a regular slip on spout.  Which one do you have?  The Delta spout's on the left.  Back to you,  Tom

It's a delta select  looks more like the one on the right, but, the pull lever is about one inch from the wall..  They are about 5 years old...

Rmnn,
You didn't need to repost the same question twice.  Look under your spout next to the wall if you see any type of opening youhave a slip on spout.  If not then your spout screws on.  Let me know what you have.  Regards,  Tom

Sorry just worried... I didn't see anything, I caulked in between the tile and the spout.  Do I need to remove the caulk.  Because, when they put it on, there was a 1/2 inch gap between the wall and the spout.

If you don't have a small opening  on the bottom then it'smy guess you have a screw on spout that has a nipple that's 1/2" inch too long.  Unscrew it and soak the spout in vinegar or bleach.  When it comes time to put it back I'll be advising you to replace the nipple with a brass nipple 1/2" shorter.   Good luck
