    • 1). Turn the water supply off. Use your Allen wrench to remove the screw on the side of the handle of the faucet, and remove both the screw and the handle. With these items removed, slide the gray plastic disc and the metal sleeve off the faucet.

    • 2). Remove the brass ring holding the remainder of the faucet in place, using the strap wrench. Once the brass ring is removed, use slow and steady pressure to remove the faucet assembly from its place by twisting the unit counterclockwise until it comes loose. Place a towel beneath the opening, as excess water likely still is in the pipes.

    • 3). Open the faucet assembly by simultaneously pressing in and twisting on the blue half. Pull out the black rubber seats from the blue half and replace them with the new pieces found in the repair kit. These rubber pieces are the key to eliminating the leak.

    • 4). Place the springs and rubber seats in place and twist the blue and white pieces back together to rejoin them. Reinsert the faucet assembly into the brass sleeve, and use the strap wrench to secure it in place with the brass ring. Slip the sleeve back onto the assembly and put the gray disc back into place.

    • 5). Reattach the shower faucet handle. Turn on the water supply.
