Main problem: No hot water when handle is turned for bathtub. Both sinks and shower in same bathroom have no issues with hot water.
So I am trying to remove the handle and proceed. Planning on just taking the inside to Home Depot and replacing it all. But I cannot get the handle off. Small cap pops off on top. The handle will unscrew, but that doesn't help me at all. I tried twisting the base of the handle and it would not budge. (Didn't want to break it.) No set screws on the outside. Corrosion on inside - cleaned out. I see a hole but no sides for allen wrench, slots for screw driver, etc. The very top as 3 slots that look like it would accept some sort of 3 prong tool/wrench, but searching for that I cannot find anything. Pictures attached. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Christian
