My shower diverter is stripped and I need to replace it.  I have removed the knob but cannot get the diverter unscrewed so I can replace it.  It will turn and feels like it is unscrewing but it does not come loose.  How can I get this off?

Hi Klhaire... 
 
What is the name brand on the shower valve?
 
Back to you...

Mark,
 
Thank you for responding.  I am afraid I don't know what kind of faucet it is.  We rent and this an old house.  I believe it was built in the 40's and I don't know how old the plumbing is.  I wish I could give you more information.  Thank you, anyway for trying to help.

There is a knob for hot water, one for cold water, and the diverter is in the middle of them.  My camera isn't working so I am not able to post a picture.
