    Running water from bathtub faucet
    Bath faucet leaks (hot water) after complete replacement of all parts. Used Kit from Lowe's. I think I might have used a wrong size spindle ! Is that possible? Also center diverter wasn't diverting water to shower head, just faucet. I added a new faucet fixture w/diverter and now water diverts but still have the leak. Please someone help.
