Hi, I'm new here so thanks for taking the time to read/reply to this. I have a leak out of the top (where the knob screws on in first pic) of a Grohe bathtub diverter. I guess it was installed 1993 when the house was built.
I am having a problem getting the diverter cartridge out of the threaded pipe shown in the 2nd and 3rd pics. I have tried turning the hex nut (top of cartridge I think) both clockwise and anticlockwise, does not budge even though I have used a fair amount of force. I'm wondering if the ring insert shown in pic 3 is some sort of locking ring and has to be removed first?
Any advice would be very welcome!
Thanks
