Step 2 · Remove the Shower Handle(s)

This is the step people usually slow down on. Go finger-tight first, then a quarter turn. No rush — replay the clip whenever it helps.

Carefully remove the handle(s). Two-handle faucets usually have a screw beneath each handle cap. Use a screwdriver (or Allen wrench) to remove these screws and then gently pull off the handles. If they're stuck, a handle puller might be necessary. Take photos before disassembling to help with reassembly.
