If able... a question On average are pull lever thingy same or to different to get?

Great video, when my lever fell out a small black ring came with it…. Does it belong somewhere on the faucet?

Or do you or know someone who has a video without taking out the faucet?

[@mj-bc4ki]

my dad got a spout diverter replacement because my old one fell out multiple times. but the replacement fell out too after some time. i can’t get the white part (with the black circle) to stay inside the spout, it keeps slipping out. how can i get the white part to stay put? could there be something wrong with the spout?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching, any update? It’s possible that you need an entirely new kit as the replacement kit you have might be defective.

[@ericreynolds4008]

Hi, I was able to get the slide back in place thanks to your video. However it seems that my shower still doesn’t work. There’s a tiny amount going up but most is still spraying out the bottom. The slide feels a tad loose. Is there something else I can do?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

[@benjo-banjo]

I’m having a problem with this too^^

[@odogg6981]

Thks man u made a very unhappy wife Hapoy again lol.

[@user-wx4vp9vo7e]

So I replaced the lever. But I feel like it’s taking a good amount of effort to push and pull the lever when switching. Any ideas?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching, any update? We came across your other comment as well. Are all parts installed properly and not damaged? If the white plastic guide is installed backwards, the lever will be a bit stiff.

[@acurry2416]

Mine doesn’t have a screw at the bottom so how do I get it off? Also my little white piece is loose I can shake it around but the actual metal piece won’t budge up or down and I’m missing the top piece to pull it up or down. I thought I could just push the metal piece up from the bottom but it won’t move.

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Good morning, just poured a cup of coffee and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community. Have you confirmed that it’s a twist-off design or press-fit? If it’s a twist-off, turning it counterclockwise will hopefully break it free. It’s possible that there’s a bit of calcium buildup making it more difficult to move. Most important thing is to work very carefully to ensure you don’t harm anything in the process.

Ok my knob pulled out I bought the diverter replacement but my spout doesn't have a screw and it's also I guess a rear diverted and it has a almost white solid plastic insert where it screws in the wall ..I gotta figure out how to get that plastic insert out to get old diverter out..or can i?

Thanks for watching, any update on the project? Are you referring to the white plastic inner part that works in conjunction with the pull lever & seal? If so, the video link below may be helpful. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGa9h52YqciBiK8 Please keep us posted, us DIYers need to stick together!

My niece is having this problem, sent her your video. she says hers does not have the allen nut "it's a twist off" and she can't get the faucet off?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching, any update? It’s likely that it’s pretty calcified if it’s been installed for many years. Spraying vinegar inside any and all openings of spout will help break up calcification. Continue to be extremely careful as you or your niece try to remove spout, the last thing you want to do is damage the internal plumbing.

I did this and it’s not working the top screw comes undone so I have to re screw if in like a regular screw what should I do?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching, any update. The screw threaded insert might be a bit stripped. Or it’s possible that the screw is to small…might not be the original screw. Stripped insert is more likely.

After putting in a new tub/shower diverter when turning on shower water is also coming out of tub spout. What is the cause. Thank you

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching, your diverter is still allowing water through when switching it to overhead. The diverter seal may be the cause.

helpppp my shower is kinda old and the spout came off so the pipe is out but the end of the pipe is kinda like a circle and idk how to fix nothing worked

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Good morning ☕️ Any update? Is your pipe treaded or non-threaded as the pipe in this video is?

[@benjo-banjo]

Hey guys, if this repair does not work for you (there’s still water coming out and not enough of a seal to divert the water), look for the small rubber circle That looks like it should fit around the PIN ITSELF. Put the pin in first, then the rubber on the pin on. the inner part of the spout, then the white plastic thing. The rubber is supposed to be where the pin and plastic meet. I’m no Plummer, just a programmer, but I sure felt like one while writing this comment!!

[@braumenheimer9607]

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Well thanks for going over all of this, but what I'm trying to do is remove that converter piece that's on the end of the pipe. There's nothing wrong with the spout...the issue is that my shower pipe is broken and leaking, so I'm trying to modify the tub into a makeshift shower system with hosing. I have all the hosing that will fit onto the piping if the converter is removed, but when I try to screw it off it won't move. I read somewhere that somebody else was having the same problem and he just kept trying to force it off, but then the whole pipe started going around in a circle, and now there's leaking when the tub water runs or something like that.

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

@@braumenheimer9607 Thanks for the follow up info. Sounds like you have a vision and a plan, we like that. 😁👍 We haven’t modified our setup in that way however the last thing you want to do is force it…it will break and it will cause unwanted leaking. Wish we had additional info for you….
