I'm trying to remove my bathtub spout it seems to be a Moen patent. I have looked and do not see a set screw. The spout is definitely made of plastic, coated with some Chrome material. I'm trying to remove it to fix a leaking diverter. The spout rotates 360 degrees but does not move out away from the wall like it's unscrewing. I even looked up the Moen patent which is for the diverter. I thought about trying to cut the plastic spout off or heating to melt it off but so far have avoided that, I'm not sure if the pipe that comes out of the wall is made out of copper, cast iron or plastic if plastic than melting is a bad idea. Any help on how to remove it would be greatly appreciated. On the bottom of the spout next to the wall there is a small slot about 2 mm by 5 mm wide it looks like you could put a slotted screwdriver in there and twist it to help push it away from the wall. I really appreciate anyone's comments. Currently I am using CLR to try to clean up the diverter to make it work better and possibly melt any calcification that may be holding it onto the pipe. I looked hard for set screw and do not see one. Thanks again, Don
