Help! Need to fix leaky bathtub faucet

4 years ago

last modified: 4 years ago

I have a Banner bathtub faucet. We are trying to change the spring since it is leaking but not sure how to dissemble the faucet without breaking it. We have gotten this far. See photo. Not sure what is next?

We couldn‘t seem to get it to come off and afraid to put too much pressure on it.

It looks like a tool is needed to remove the retaining ring that is holding in the cartridge. The tool may come with the replacement cartridge.

You need a spanner wrench. At 10:30 and 4:30 are slots for a spanner wrench to unscrew a retaining ring. Not hard to do. A needle-nose pliers can be used to do the same thing in a pinch.

It has a cool 80's Contemporary Memphis Movement Italian vibe to it, so it could be a great original detail that would be valuable to the home. Does the rest of the home have similar interesting features? 80's Contemporaries and becoming more appreciated and their values are rising if they have those original details. It won't be easy to either disguise, or change. Use is as is until you are ready to remodel the bathroom. It will need to be completely gutted and renovated to change that.

You might telephone Banner (877-235-9008) to see if they have a special tool. The company's tech support is pretty good, so they will probably have an answer for you.
