Bathtub Faucet Replacement

[Rene T]

There is a pair of nuts behind the faucet lines (in between the water line and faucet) that hold the faucet tight against the wall. Loosen them and completely open the water lines. Use a utility knife to score/cut around the possible silicone/sealant around the faucet and it should come off. Nobody would glue that in.

Not to add to the pain the OP went through solving the faucet issue, but for others, the part the OP indicated was leaking is called a "D-Spud Adapter", and is available from Home Depot and others from about $4 and up.

That type faucet is rebuildable by removing the knobs and replacing the seals behind the knobs without removing the assembly..>>>Dan
