Hi all,
I have an old Delta shower faucet that is leaking. Trying to disassemble it to replace the seal and spring. However, after removing the front plate and temperature control handle, I am stuck on removing the temperature control stop plastic piece (white in picture on far right). Any ideas how this comes off? Tried twisting (which controls hot/cold) and pulling straight off but seems to be rather tough.

MAKE SURE THE WATER TO THE VALVE IS TURNED OFF. You'll need to remove the handle as well. There is a hex screw inside the handle (you may need to remove a small cap at the tip of the handle to access the hex screw). Once you have the handle off, twist and pull the sleeve to remove it. Unscrew the brass bonnet nut. To remove the cartridge place the handle back on the stem and rotate counterclockwise approximately 1/4 turn after the stop has been contacted. Pull the valve cartridge out of the body.

To remove the seats and springs... Separate cap assembly from the housing assembly by rotating the cap assembly counterclockwise 90 degrees. Remove and replace seats and springs. Place the largest diameter of the spring into the seat pocket first and then press the tapered end of the seal over the spring. Replace valve cartridge if necessary.
