    Problems Removing a Tub Spout
    I am currently trying to remove the tub spout from my bath. I have the one with the screw underneath the spout. I think I may have stripped the screw please help with suggestions on how to remove the screw/spout without damaging the pipe.
    I am able to turn the spout around without any problems.
    Thanks,
    EL:confused:

    As a rule the screw will be a Allen Head Set Screw. You will need a Allen Head Wrench to remove iy. But if it's stripped then simply drill it out. Regards, Tom
