I’m attempting to change out 2 leaky valve stems in my shower. There's a weird large cylindrical head on the end of the stems, preventing the valve stem socket wrench from reaching packing nut. Has anyone ever seen this before?
I’m considering just cutting it off with a hack saw, anything wrong with this idea? Additionally, there is a screw at the top of the valve stem, but removing it didn’t seem to release the cylindrical head.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
