    Hey... the website that you posted there it's the same as mine...
    I was stuck from "removal of the brass collar".
    But my question is why am I removing all these things in the first place?
    What do I have to look for @ this point?
    If the O-rings insde are worn? Or to replace the whole cartridge?

    Thanks http://www.hammerzone.com/archives/p...ot/pbtfa10.jpg

    Hi Hosulover,

    If you follow the instructions on the link which EvNeed help has posted will show how the seals gets worn and need to replaced, the worse case will be to replace the housing, good Luck.

    I have a shower that has a single handle that you pull to turn on, and move left for cold water, and right for hot water. Somehow the person cleaning the tub, tile, and fixtures managed to move the handle which was facing down before, by jumping the two prongs that control how much you turn the handle to the upward position. I looked at the one handle fixure, and it has a hole. It is not for a screw, I'm not sure of its function. I wonder if I attempt to push on it will the two prongs withdraw? I don't really know, that is why I am asking you how I can place the handle back to its lower position like it was before. Tjm

    I have a delta monitor 1400 series I have removed the hex nut and I still can't remove the handle I have done what you said earlier to push and pull and it will eventually loosen it, I have had no success. Is there something I am forgetting to remove aside the hex nut I am holding in my hand??

    Can someone tell me what "size allen set-screw" this handle originally came with? The handle was getting loose so I tried every allen wrench I have and none of them seems to fit. It is too dark to even see if the screw has been lost. If you can tell me the standard (allen wrench) set-srew allen size for the handle then I can try that size and determine if I need to order a new handle or ? Thanks

    The best option will be to Call Delta at 800-345-3358 and explain your problem they will tell the size of the allen wrench and will send you a new handle no cost to you, Good luck.

    Had the same issue. What worked was the screwdriver that looks like a star at the end.

    I'm having the same problem. I removed the set screw from my Zurn Tempgard III handle, but cannot remove the handle. Put some white vinager on it. No luck. Tried 20wt machine oil, nada. Put PB Blaster and still nothing. Have put a small flat pry bar between the handle and escutcheon and tried to loosen it. Am afraid I'll break the handle. Of course, no customer service on the weekends. Steve

    Did you remove the set screw from the handle completely? Most of the time you only need to loosen it but every once and a while you find a design where the screw has to be completely removed.

    Hi there,
    Again, same problem here : can't remove the screw (part #2) so I just sprayed some "wd-40" like (jig-a-loo). Will now re-try but I am afraid the screw pattern is dead now.
    Does anyone would have suggestions in the case I can't get any grip on the screw? Should I use a drill to make a hole in it?
    Problem would be that I won't be able to attach the handle again, I guess...

    Any help will be greatly appreciated! :-)

    Thank you.

    Confirming I can't remove the screw... :-((

    This is a Allen Head screw and not a slotted screw. Correct? Back to you, Tom

    Yes it is a Allen screw head. I used both imperial and metric Allen wrenches and I think I have worn it... :-(
