    Hi Josh

    Yup! Remove the screws and the brass plate and brass end plate (keep these safe) and then you will need a 5/16" x 3" LAG BOLT to remove the DIVERTER SPINDLE itself. Although the bolt sounds wrong it is exactly what Symmons recommends.

    You will need to screw the 5/16" lag bolt into the spindle and then give a strong YANK to remove the old spindle (hold valve body here). To install the new spindle you will need to grease (silicone grease) the new spindle at the O-RING to insert it into the valve body... push hard to seat it. Then install the new plastic end plate and the old brass plate and screws to finish. Test all.

    Back to you...
