    Cannot remove bathtub handles

    I have a leaking bathtub faucet and cannot remove the bathtub handles on older Eljer faucets. I have tried just about everything including a puller with no luck. Any ideas? Once I get the handles off what then?

    Bathroom faucet problem

    Trying to repair a leaking bathtub faucet. I think it is a mueller faucet. I got a handle puller and tried it, no luck. Now the center part of the puller is stuck in the screw hole and I can't pull it out (the puller). Ideas?

    Leak

    My water heater has a shutoff valve that has a leak. The valve has the standard red, circular, metal handle that you turn to open or close and it is leaking by the threads. It has a steady drip. Is it possible to replace the washer or do we replace the whole thing?
