Hello everyone,
I have a single-handle chrome Moen shower handle where the handle comes in 2 parts: the thin lever part and the larger round base. There's a cap at the front of the handle, which I removed to reveal a screwhead. Unscrewing let's me remove the thin handle but the round base is still firmly attached. In fact, I can operate the shower perfectly just by grasping and turning the round base.
Pulling straight out isn't doing anything and I don't see or feel another set screw anywhere on the base. How do I remove the round base? In my search, people have said that the round base also unscrews though I could not confirm which shower handle they were talking about.
The reason for the repair in the first place is that the thin lever part comes loose all the time and I just wanted to replace the whole trim.
Thanks for the help!
