I have a mixet pressure balance shower assembly. (First of this kind I have seen)
I also have no cold water.
Water is present at the cold stop (right side valve) but is not continuing past the balancer spool.
My problem is removing said spool.
The spool has a slot in it's center and flats on either side.
Due to it's age a screwdriver (even with a wrench assist) will not budge it.
With only 2 flats a socket is useless and it's too deep to get a normal wrench on.
Short of using a basin wrench and run the risk of buggering the flats is there a special tool for this?
