Bathtub stems
My two bathrooms have very different stem types. On one, the water drips while the water is on. I want to change the stem, but it is something I have never seen. It is a stem that cannot unscrew. It is mounted to the pipe. What I see is the stem coming out of the wall. I see the screw threads for the silver handle sleave, and a nut on the end of that. I know there is a washer in there somewhere, but I am scared to unscrew it. It is like nothing I have seen before, and I do not want to tear down the whole wall to fix that when I know thet it I just a washer somewhere. Have you come across anything like this? Why would the two bathrooms be so different ? Just to give me a hard time, I guess!

There is a leak in the wall behind our shower. The handyman couldn't remove the existing handles to fix it because he said the stems had been glued to the handles. What should we do? This house is over 30 years old. You can physically see the glue in and around the handles.
Since the valve stems don't have a brand name anywhere on them I am concerned I may get the wrong size or thread type. Are plumbing parts consistent all across the board? I just can't seem to get this drip to stop completely. I can slow it down, but the washer ends up getting wrecked in about 3...
