Hi everybody. I'm new to this board and am glad I found it!
Here is my problem.... I have two showers in my house. One is a combo tub and shower that has the hot, cold, and diverter knobs. The other one is just a shower only so it just has the two knobs. They are probably 25 years old since I assume they came with the house. They are both leaking enough to bother me, so I figure it's time to repair them.
I have fixed quite a few faucets in my years of living in apartments in college, but I've never seen one that looks like either of these, so I don't know how to get them apart to go get the replacement parts.
Can anybody identify these and tell me what tools I'll need? The main problem I'm seeing is that it looks like a special tool is required to take off the "trim" piece (not sure of the official name). They are both different though. It looks as if I have to get that trim piece off in order to get the stem thing out.
Here are pictures of the two faucets. If you can look at them and tell me what you know it would be greatly appreciated.
