    Removing old bathtub spout

    Hello All, I'm hoping to remove the old bathtub spout and diverter and install a new Danco spout. There is a ton of buildup on the old one (see photo), which isn't able to do a good job diverting water to the shower head any more. With so much buildup, I can't seem to find the set screw to...

    Replacing 3/4 inch diverter spout

    I have this tub spout where the diverter broke and is basically unsalvageable. I talked to Grohe support and they told me any 3/4 spout would work so I got a cheap one. Problem is it appears the old spout left a nut on the 3/4 pipe and it rounded so I don’t know how to pop it off. Any ideas?
