    There is a spanner wrench made with two prongs that will slip into two of the holes and then tap the handle end of the wrench with a hammer. Just a thought.

    Thank you all for the advice/s.

    Putty - done
    Cardboard - #17 - done.
    Reseal - done.

    Do I need to keep trying to make it tighter everyday? Or is this done? Right now, it seemed that it is quite tight. Should I try to hammered it to get tighter everyday?

    How long do I need to wait before I run the water test?

    Thanks all.

    If you used the cardboard and putty squeezed out real good upstairs you should be all set, however, if you want to tighten it a little bit more today go ahead... it can't hurt... :) You should not need to tighten it anymore after that!

    You can use/test the shower right away.
