Hi all
I need to remove the handle so that I may remove the back plate to the shower valve so I can adjust and replace the thermostatic cartridge. However the thread on the grub screw to remove the diverter/water flow handle has worn away and now the accompanying allen key just keeps turning without unscrewing the grub screw. How do I get the handle off without having to break it? The photo shows the handle removed from the thermostatic mixer. It had a grub screw thread which was fine and so I was able to remove the handle easily.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
regards
