Single handle tub faucet disassembly

[sg8383]

Hello,

I’m trying to partially disassemble this single handle tub faucet so I can get at the anti scald device. There’s not enough hot water in the mix. I uploaded 2 pics. Any idea how to get the circled piece loose? I don’t see any more set screws. It doesn’t seem to turn clockwise or counterclockwise. I’m not sure if it’s the black rubber gasket in the back holding it in place but it seems too rigid to get behind it with anything to pull it off. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

it might be all one piece.....the trim plate may just snap onto the valve body I don't see any screws for that either looks like you may have to take off the diverter knob

check for slots in the trim plate that maybe were you would pry from

I just pulled on the backplate to find that it slides over everything. So now with that off, I still can’t seam to open up the valve body. Still doesn’t turn. Any ideas from here? Thanks again!

try pulling straight out......or use a strap wrench to spin it off....

Yep, not having any luck with this bugger. Attached the parts diagram to see if it might give any other ideas.

I just tried to open the file.....the valve is made by Kingston brass they should be able to tell you or show you how it comes off

It looks like #9 is threaded onto # 10. A strap wrench, and a rubber mallet, should persuade it to come off.
