    Thank you so much. I've never had a father to teach me any of this stuff so I immediately panicked, thinking I needed to spend hundreds of dollars to get this replaced. Thank you again!

    My diverter fell out, and I was able to fix it after watching your video. Much appreciated. If I called the maintenance person in my building to fix it, he would probably laugh at me. I ended up watching some of your other videos and I think I could do some of those things now as well.

    For me, pulling the shaft up has been / was the problem. Yes, maybe left it for to long.... yes... over the years it got worse.
    Due to your video, I had the understanding of how it all works. Thinking I'd need new plastic pieces, I went about pulling it all apart.
    At the top of the shaft, the knob, I started to unscrew. This took some needle nose pliers to hold the shaft but I got it off.
    I then pushed the shaft down and in turn, the plastic components dropped.
    With the whole thing out, I assessed the components. The plastic / rubber looked good. The shaft looked to have "Rust" on it just below the knob.
    Put the shaft into a drill chuck, bottom in, leaving the bulk of the shaft exposed and the threading.
    I then sanded the shaft, not the threading.
    With the cleaned up shaft, I tested if it would pass through the whole easily.
    Given the shaft still would not easily pass through the whole, I found a drill bit that matched the shaft size and drilled out the whole.
    Shaft slid through the hole, reassembled and tested..... All worked good.
    If it was not for your video.... I'd have not have ventured to do this.

    Question. What if the diverter pulled half way up gives a better shower pressure with water leaking from the spout vs very LOW pressure from the shower pulled ALL the way with no water leaking from the spout?

    • @DIYwithMichaelBorders
      @DIYwithMichaelBorders  Год назад +1

      Thanks for watching, does your diverter have a new kit installed as shown in this video…?…if not, we recommend replacing the spout diverter kit so you have all new parts and a more proper, correct, and efficient running system.

      Good morning, that’s no fun. Two common causes for this are:
      1. Rubber o-ring is installed backwards.
      2. Rubber o-ring accidentally got offset or crimped during install making it unable to create water-tight seal.
      Please keep us posted and reach out to us anytime if you have any questions.

    Definitely not has easy when the spout is still attached to the wall. A lot of patience. If you are able to lay in the tub and put it together (plastic piece and metal stick) and insert from the bottom and then screw on the top after I would recommend that.

      Good morning ☕️
      Don’t have a video on that at the moment however it’s on the list. If your diverter face plate has screws, you can remove screws and service diverter. If not, you’ll need to get to opposite side tub.
      Do you have access to the back side of shower/tub where the valves are?
      If so, you can remove a possible access panel and see the opposite side tub where you can service diverter.
