      What do you suggest for finding a good replacement. I always have issues with the diverter(?) getting stuck either to the shower or tub. It takes less than 1 year before it sticks.

    Thank you for a thorough yet succinct demonstration! I bought a new spout last year because my diverter wasn't working properly. Lots of corrosion inside the old spout. I did not install the new one yet but instead filed down the corroded parts of the old one. Seemed to work fine, but I've noticed lately that I have to file every couple of days LOL. I've been a little nervous to change out the whole thing but I think I'm going to do that next weekend thanks to the confidence you gave me! PS-- love the bonus tip you gave-- that the shower diverter should disengage on its own when the water is turned off; never push it while the water is running.

      I had to use WD-40 to get my tub drain stopper out yesterday, not even the full drain. I think someone had misthreaded it putting it in. Then there was so much hair it prevented it from fully twisting to come out. I'm renting so just cleaning it, but Im going to soak it in vinegar before putting it back, maybe it'll thread correctly when I put it back if I have to clean it again before I move.

    Thank you, I plan to do this on Friday. I watched your other video too on replacing the drain, so I will be doing both. My diverter is broken on my facet, and my drain, the cover of it is very rough to touch because I used a harsh cleaner that I should not have. But I noticed the black ring around it, that is probably the washer installed wrong. As far as the facet on your tub being high, I bet they put it that high to prevent little kids hitting their heads.

    • @Mohawks_and_Tomahawks
      @Mohawks_and_Tomahawks Рік тому +2

      Another pro-tip, is to PUSH the caulking gun, not DRAG the caulking gun.
      When you caulk your bathtub, countertops, baseboards, etc, this will give you long, clean, perfect caulk lines every time... and no tape required.

    I changed my spout out after I tried to repair the diverter by putting in a new gasket but the inside was too rough to make a reliable seal. Fortunately I have the slip on type so it was an easy fix requiring only a hex key to get it done. I much prefer the type of diverter which is in the shower valve as it is more reliable. I have one of those rubber strap type wrenches that I got for about $1 at a yard sale. I hope to be able to use it someday.

  • @censored7881
    @censored7881 3 місяці тому

    Nice video. Thank you. The one thought I have is that it's possible the spout you're removing is a universal spout, in which case it could actually have been installed as a screw-on, but the presence of the set screw will make you think it's a slip-on. So, you could be tugging outward and/or turning it clockwise in error as you try to remove it. So, to me it makes sense to only turn it counter-clockwise during initial removal if it has a set screw, unless and until you're absolutely sure it really is a slip-on.

      @@gabriella2682 not great, but by no fault of the video, I ended up buying both types because I felt a cut out where the screw should go, but when it came time to unscrew I couldn't find one. So I get a strap & hesitantly unscrewed it. Which worked, but when I went to screw the new one on it didn't fit. There was some weird coupling that I couldn't get off, looked rusted in place? I bought wire brushes & wd40 that said wouldn't stain my tub but did. Nothing worked, so I had to call someone after all. But if there wasn't all the extra bs, It would've only taken me 10 minutes. 🤷🏼‍♀️
