Default Removing Mira Shower

Apologies for the poor mobile phone pic, but how do I remove this little
beauty?

http://www.forgemill.co.uk/mira.jpg

I can see a few openings for what appears to be a 2.5mm allen key (missing
from my set), and the nuts at the back on the inlets.

Any help appreciated.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Forestfan"
saying something like:

Pull the central knob straight off - it's on a four-grooved shaft, iirc.
The rotary outside one also pulls straight off after that once you
remove a horseshoe clip.
The 2.5mm allan grubscrews round the periphery will allow you to take
the body away from the backplate once removed.

Is it knackered? You can get a complete rebuild kit for about a tenner.

It was from our en-suite, all installed by the previous owner. All his
sealing aroound the tray had failed, I suspect he used non waterproof grout
on the tiles judging by the crud behind them & the ease with which they came
off.

The whole lot is now in the skip outside, I won't be reusing the shower..

Thanks for the help.

Then the correct tool is a hammer.
