I barely have the vocabulary to describe my problem, so please feel free to clue me in...I am attempting to remove the trim from an old shower and I have the handle and the plate off no problem. The chrome "sleeve" won't come off -it is two pieces and the outer part is very stationary, while the part closes to the wall is spinning freely abd loose. Under this the white plastic piece that I believe holds the "stop" is pretty stationary as well. I have tried yanking, pulling, spinning ( will not budge) and trying to wedge the thing outwards. I do not want to break the whole thing because it is imbedded in a wall that has wire cloth and stucco on both sides...a very specialized faux red-rock finish that I have no desire to match/repair. Any help appreciated...even an id on the valve...looks kinda like a moentrol?
