Hi all !
I'm in the process of remaking the bathroom in my 1970 paramount mobile home. New window, new floor, new bath with some white bath/shower wall.
I've realise today that the shower diverter knob was leaking. I've tryed to pulled it out but i'm not able. I don't want to break it !!
Here's some pictures. If someone could tell me how to remove it I would apreciate it !
Thanks.

I mostly replace faucets and have not repaired very many, but I think the nut you pulled off is the packing nut. The nut that removes the stem assembly is usually at the base near the valve body and it much bigger. I think I can see one nub of the nut here. Not sure though.

Did you try pulling on the stem with some pliers after removing the packing nut?

It doesn't appear to me to have a hexed valve body. That's why I assumed the packing nut held it in place and the valve should just pull out. The back of the assembly really doesn't show anything further. If you can't get it out, I'm affraid you may have to try your hand at soldering. Replacement may be the next step.
