The mixing valve on my shower is leaking somewhere and sending water down the back side of shower wall.
I thought if I pop off the handle and remove the face plate, I'll be able to get to the valve and see what's leaking, but I can't get the darn handle off. I removed the screw. Am I missing something? The handle hasn't been off in 30 years so maybe mineral deposits have "welded" the handle to the shaft it's on. Maybe tap the backside of the handle with a hammer and wood dowel?
Thanks.
