How to Loosen Tight Shower Fixtures
Shower Head
- 1). Turn off the water supply to the shower or the main water supply to your home, if you plan to remove the fixture after you loosen it. If you are just loosening it, you can skip this step.
- 2). Place the mouth of the adjustable wrench around the nut holding the shower head to the pipe extension.
- 3). Tighten the jaws of the wrench around the nut. Turn the adjusting screw on the wrench while rocking the jaws back and forth around the nut until you can no longer rock the wrench.
- 4). Turn the wrench to the left until the nut is loose enough.
