    Need to fix Leaking Delta Monitor Shower Faucet
    Hi everyone,

    I have a leaking Delta Monitor shower faucet that I need to repair, but have a problem. When I went to remove the little hex bolt that holds the handle in place, I noticed that it was caked in mineral deposits. I put a bunch of CLR on it to remove the deposits, but the allen key would not budge. I did this several times. Finally, I tried WD-40, but no luck either. To make matters worse, it seems that the bolt has become stripped and the allen key keeps slipping now. Now What?

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Drill out the head with a small drill bit and try an easy out see if it will, if not then you have to out the head and try to remove the remaining of the screw, good luck.
