I'm helping a neighbor who has a plumbing leak in the ceiling beneath the bathroom, and I'm certain that it is due to water from the shower head that runs down the wall to the tub spout and then goes through the wall where the supply for the spout comes through the wall. The back of the tub spout is about 1/8" from the wall and I can see that the penetration isn't caulked. It looks like the spout doesn't have a set screw, so I assumed it just screwed on. There is an opening on the underside at the back, but I only see copper pipe and no screw. I've exerted quite a bit of force (hands only...no tools yet) and can't get it to unscrew. It's an inexpensive looking plastic spout, and appears to be a brand I've never heard of (NEMO). Is there any trick to getting this off, or am I just not using enough brute force?
