Using a 3/32 inch Allen wrench, loosen the set screw on the underside of the shower handle. Once loose, pull the handle straight off. Then, remove the Phillips head screw holding the handle adapter. Pull off the escutcheon sleeve. Using a flathead screwdriver, carefully pry around the edge of the large faceplate to break the old caulk seal, then pull it off the wall to expose the valve body.
