Default Tap/ Shower Mixer - Stuck on shower

WD40 2 short squirts

then lightly tap with a wood mallet on opposite sides


Thank you.

Where should the WD40 be applied to? Inside the collar/ at the side
etc?? What does the tap with the wooden mallet do?


Hi SteveC
I was being slightly facetious (esp later in my response), but I was looking
to free any metal-metal binding that might be preventing the mechanism
working. I would probably spray inside the collar and tap (only lightly
though) the collar with the mallet to free up if it was binding.

However, I suspect that Brian's response is just as likely to be fruitful.
