Can not take off the old Showerhead
November 27th, 2009
I’m trying to replace my old (6 months old) showerhead with a new one. However, I can’t take out the old one.
I tried using the pipe wrench first, didn’t work. Then I tried locking pliers, but it didn’t move.
The problem it seems is that plumbing putty/glue (or whatever it is called) was used when it was installed.
I tried Acetone, vinegar, but it just won’t budge.
It isn’t rusted or anything like that. I know it is just that sticky thing that once you get on your hands seems impossible to remove.
Any ideas on what to do?
I would remove it completely from inside the wall. Get a new shower arm and flange. Cheap money.
