My single handle shower faucet didn't want to turn off all the way, so I assume it's gunked up with hard water items within the valve.
My question is, how do I remove this valve? There was a "U" clip at the top (which I removed), but I am afraid to go any further after removing it. The valve won't pull straight out... Does it need a pipe wrench and the whole thing unscrews from behind the fiberglass area?
For the valve replacement - can I take this into lowes and find a new valve, or does this HAVE to be rebuilt with one of their rebuild kits? The house was built around 1985.
Thanks for your help!
