Can you help me get my Delta shower faucet apart so I can stop an annoying
drip?
I'm stuck - I don't know how to get the shower faucet apart?
- I removed the two bolts holding the back plate on
- I removed the set screw holding the handle on
- I removed the sleeve around the brass thing that turns
And ... I'm basically stuck here ... I can't see what next to remove.
I posted 15 pictures of the steps here

Can you help me with the next step to dissaembly of this Delta shower
faucet?
Thank you,
Donna

It might be hard to see the key pics so to help you help me, I just made
extensive annotations of the pics for you to help me.
This is basically where I started

And, this is basically where I'm stuck!

Great picture, but I can't help. Try poking around here:

Donna,
Try going to Home Depot et al, and find the "kit" that repairs
your faucet. Then you will be able to identify what needs to come out.
Note that you will probably need to grab onto that metal post sticking
out, with a pliers, and just pull it out, and whatever is attached to
it (probably a valve). .Make sure you have removed whatever parts are
holding the valve in before trying to pull it out. It might be hard
to get out, even with all the obstructions removed. If the Delta is
like other faucets, you just need to pull out the old "valve", and
insert the new one. (PLus all the other parts) Around $15 to $20 at
home depot probably.
Great pictures, btw.

Hi Caloo Calay,
I did go to Home Depot, armed with the printout of the photographs.
Unfortunately, we didn't find ANYTHING that matched this faucet!
The store person suggested I take the Delta faucet apart and come in with
the parts in my hand.
Of course, that's where the problem is.
I can't figure out the next step in disassembly.

It looks like two options were suggested here:
a) Cut away the escutcheon with a knife and see if there is something
behind it to remove ... or ...
b) Grab the post sticking out with channel locks and try to twist it out by
force ...
To get a better handle on the next step (i.e., a or b above), I tried
calling Delta Customer Support at 1-800-345-DELTA (800-345-3358) but they
were closed for the weekend. So I emailed them at
customerservice@deltafaucet.com and I hope to get a response.
Meanwhile, I appreciate any and all help you guys can provide as it's not
obvious to me, and, whatever you help with, the next person with the same
problem will have this information in the archives to benefit from.
Donna
