I would like to change out a Phisher Price shower to a Moen shower. What is involved and is this something that I can do? Or do I need to call in some help?
Hey, Are you wanting to swap shower heads or all the shower hardware?? ..PUT A WASH RAG/TOWEL OVER THE DRAIN BEFORE YOU START - PREVENT ANYTHING FROM GOING DOWN THE DRAIN YOU MIGHT NEED LATER!!.. If its just the shower head.. no problem.. The shower head just unscrews...(might need a small crescent wrench or pliers) .. and the new one should just screw on....a couple rounds of white thread tape will prevent leaks.. If you are wanting to change the other hardware... this will be hard to direct because we cannot see how they are installed... some have screws under the caps, some have set screws in the bottom of the handles...for the ones with screws under the caps.. the caps have a notch to facilitate popping of the caps.. the screw will be visible.. the set screw hole will be visible on the others.. Good luck..
