My shower head is stuck....what can I do?

Question

My shower head is stuck. I am trying to replace my shower head but it seems as if I cannot get the old one off...even with pliers. I have asked many men to come and attempt but all have failed. I do not know if it rusted or what but I am starting to get very upset.......Don't want to have to call a plumber...help!!!

Answer 1

You will need to go and buy a small pipe wrench(10 inch will be good enough) as you will not get a good tight grip to remove the head with your pliers. You should be able to do this job quite easily with the right tool!

Answer 2

Get a good pipe wrench...not pliers. Before you attempt to take it off....tap it around the thread area to help break loose whatever is holding it tight. Run HOT water through it just before you tap on it...the heat makes it expand and helps break it loose.

Call one of the guys that answered this question.

Answer 4

Sounds like to me.  You need to  ask a real man.  Not some young boy.

Answer 5

You need a big wrench and a strong man.  Not some wimp with a pair of pliers.
