What happens here
Begin by removing the old shower trim kit using a Milwaukee impact driver to unscrew the mounting screws. Next, use a reciprocating saw to cut the existing PEX pipes and copper pipe connected to the old valve. If space is tight, use a mini hacksaw for precision cuts. The old valve body is then removed.
Goal: Disassemble the old shower valve system.
