Removing Mira Shower

Aug 19, 2007 4 Replies

Apologies for the poor mobile phone pic, but how do I remove this little beauty?

can see a few openings for what appears to be a 2.5mm allen key (missing from my set), and the nuts at the back on the inlets.



Any help appreciated.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Forestfan" saying something like:

Pull the central knob straight off - it's on a four-grooved shaft, iirc. The rotary outside one also pulls straight off after that once you remove a horseshoe clip. The 2.5mm allan grubscrews round the periphery will allow you to take the body away from the backplate once removed.

Is it knackered? You can get a complete rebuild kit for about a tenner.

It was from our en-suite, all installed by the previous owner. All his sealing aroound the tray had failed, I suspect he used non waterproof grout on the tiles judging by the crud behind them & the ease with which they came off.

The whole lot is now in the skip outside, I won't be reusing the shower..

Thanks for the help.

I won't be reusing the shower..

Then the correct tool is a hammer.
