I've been having an issue with the diverter valve in my shower/bath. It leaks slightly whenever the water is on, but excessively when I switch it to the shower head. Most diverter valve videos I've seen have someone taking the whole valve off with a large deep socket. Mine won't receive a socket-type tool because it only has two flat sides. I want to be sure before I go getting creative to remove it that it should actually be unscrewed and that it's soldered in or something. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
