The thing had so much oxidation, there was nothing I was do to get this thing off gingerly. So I duct taped two floppy disks to the wall and performed surgery with the RotoZip. Good as new.

Not sure what it was but I took it apart and put it back together and it works fine now.

I just ended up redoing the whole thing and installed the shoe first as recommended. Seems to work alright. The only tricky part was was putting the To on the overflow and shoe extensions. Thanks for the advice.

Hmm. I used all of the parts that came with it. Not sure why it's not catching. But if I have the handle off, the valve itself will continue to turn infinitely. Is that supposed to be happening.

Nice. I took out the set screw. However, it still won't pull out.

I have a spout that sits about 1/4" away from the wall. It's been like that since we moved in. It's cruddy looking too so I want to replace it and make it flush with the tile. I pull on it and it's pulls the copper with it. If I try to turn it, it just clicks on rotates endlessly. I'm...

There are other feet. That tub has been in that position for 15-20 years or so.

It's just a valve that you have to pull to turn on - a Moentrol.

i was thinking that. so you would actually secure the shoe first and attach everything else while it's connected.

my dad must have done that while i was in the crawl space. so I have to rebuild the whole p-trap then?

I had a hard time getting the handle off. The screw stripped so I roto zipped it off. Eventually the screw head broke. After some brute force with the pliers, I eventually got the screw to back out, but not before the valve turned over a hundred times. It's a B Type valve. I got a...

The only gasket is the one between the tub and the pvc. Doesn't the drain just get plumber's putty? The only other gasket is the one for the overflow.

I installed a new tub drain kit with overflow. It's leaking because there's a gap between the PVC and the bottom of the tub. The gasket isn't pressed tight between the two. I can push it flush to the tub without much effort but no matter how hard I tighten the drain it won't make a...
