Changing diverter in clawfoot tub
I'm trying to fix or replace parts of my sad, old, leaky shower. I have a free standing clawfoot tub with a tub mounted faucet and diverter. See picture:
 I initially tried to remove the entire facet thinking I would clean and repair it by hand or bring it with me to hardware store to find the proper replacement. Naturally, that didn't work out. The nuts against the back of the tub which hold the faucet tight against the tub wall are easy to remove but I can't get this joint off:  So I can't remove the faucet from the tub. Then, when I began to read about how to do it properly, I discovered that I should be able to remove only the spout part which contains the diverter. However, I'm unable to figure out if the spout on this type of faucet can be removed. There is no screw holding the spout to the rest of the faucet, and it doesn't budge when I try to turn the whole thing, as you would with a wall mounted type. There appears to be a seam between the spout and the part with the handles, but I can't figure out how to separate them. Anybody have any ideas on what to do to get this thing apart or fix it? |
