What about a shower valve assembly that is not held in by brackets but rather is one unit...I have a Delta shower tub all in one hot/cold controller that I am having a problem removing...any trick to getting this type off for repair?

continuing our work on the shower here. I have the new valve or cartridge as we call them in hand and we just really need to put this back in the way that we took it out and put the controller in after it and reseal it properly and we are on our way to finishing this. Okay so here's how we are going to do it. Again, these are the 2 hot and cold entry ways for the water system so we want to make sure that this goes in exactly the way that we took it out, just like that. That's it. You can't turn it when it's in there so you know that is proper. Okay and we've got our bracket and our control knob and this is going back on the same way that it came off which is this way right here. How do we know that? Because this little plastic piece where the control knob was on top when I took it off. It rotates this way to close. Here we go. That's open and that's closed. Okay and here's our bracket, let's put it on. Let's just get these screws started a little bit and then you can tighten it down when you've got all 4 screws in because you don't want to have any tension stronger on one side or the other and you want to make sure it is seated nice and flat. So start them in there, snug them up just a little bit till you've got all the screws in. Okay.
