Need to put a new cartridge on the shower...
Only writing on the unit is "Belle Foret". Did some research and they manufacture for Glacier Bay among other things. Talking to previous home owner and this unit was likely installed in 2017 when they did a bathroom remodel. Maybe earlier cause just maybe they only did shower re surfacing stucco etc.
Glacier Bay is sold by home depot so we went there trying to find a similar unit - no joy.
OK, just trying to figure how to get the single handle off. there is no set screw anywhere on the collar etc. see picture. Most common way to hold handle.
The handle itself came right off. Now trying to remove the handle shaft. it wiggles back and forth a bit plus rotates easily.
tried gently prying on the whole unit - red arrow.
tried seeing if the end is actually a cap hiding a screw - orange arrow
There are flats on the stud for the handle so tried to rotate it CCW.
I have been gentle. BIG JOB if I break it.
I could use some suggestions here. Whole thing soaking in Kroil for a day.
