Important: Turn off the water supply at the faucet before starting. You can either turn off the main supply to the house or close the shut-off valves if the faucet is equipped with them. Then open the faucet again to empty it of residual water. Failure to do so could result in flooding or injury.

3. Go back and unscrew the bar nut completely and remove the bar assembly from the external valve. |

5. Unscrew the part that went into the wall bracket. |
6. Once unscrewed, separate the bars by pulling on the top one and pull out the slider from the top of the bottom bar. |
