Hi,
Hoping you can help please!
I have a Hudson Reed shower valve in my bathroom. It seems to be an older fashioned 3007 unit, a twin tec divertor, as far as I can make out.
Last week it got hotter and hotter, then upon turning the temp control further the shaft started to push outwards. So time for a new thermostatic cartridge then I guess!
The problem is it won't unscrew. I have removed the grub screw from the underside, and tried a 17mm spanner on the flats, as well as a pipe wrench and a sillson wrench on the larger splined section. It will not budge. The flats are deforming and the splines are stripping off.
There is a pic of my unit below, I believe the cartridge is likely to be this one. https://www.divapor.com/spares/show...rmostatic-cartridge-sa30049-ultra-sa30049.php
Any advice or help on removal please? The wife is being patient, but only for so long...
Many thanks
Jamie
