Hi there,
The pics show the two screws that regulate the cold/hot flow to my shower thermovalve(paraffin). They appear stuck and I don't want to force'em with a flathead.
One is close to the max 'out' position, the other one close to the max 'in' postion. But not sure how much more give there is on either.
I am getting hotter than usual mix and trying to help the valve, before I look/find for a replacement cartridge(unlikely, 15+ old model)
Are the heads damaged? Or is there a special key? Would lubricant work to loosen? At the extreme: can I unscrew the whole screw assembly by working on the nut?
TIA
