Good evening everyone,
I'll take any help I can get on how to address the current situation I am in. My plan was to install a $30 dollar Delta valve cartridge. Everything was going fine until I got to the bonnet. It did not want to come off easily and I decided to go with brute force and use a huge plumbers wrench. Unfortunately, when I finally felt something twist, it was not the bonnet but the three valves coming from the diverter. Please see pictures of the terror at this point.
As I understand it there are a few options: 1) Go in from the back wall which is the exterior of the home. 2) Relocate the diverter up or down - but what will this require?
Does anyone have any other thoughts? Would this be a good time to replace the whole shower? Also, what is a quick method to cap it so I can get the water back on.
Thanks in advance for any input and support; it has been a rough night.
