My shower faucets have been leaking. I have deduced that the problem must be with the valve seat not seating properly. I tore down the faucet to what you see in the picture. However I don't see a way to "easily" remove the valve stem/housing. I was expecting to see something I could fit a socket onto but all sides are round/smooth.
This is a house I moved into so I don't know the make/model of the faucet.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to remove the valve stem?
Thank you in advance.
