How to Take Apart a Kohler Shower Knob
- 1). Shut off the water supply to the shower. Locate the shutoff valves behind the shower wall, which are sometimes covered by an access panel. Remove the screws on the access panel using the proper type of screwdriver. Turn the handles or knobs on the shutoff valves clockwise.
If you can't locate shutoffs behind the shower wall, turn off the main water valve for your home. - 2). Pry off the button cap in the center of the knob using a standard screwdriver. Use the edge of the blade to lift up around the edges of the cap until it becomes detached.
- 3). Unfasten the screw at the center of the knob using a Phillips screwdriver. Turn the screw counterclockwise until it can be completely removed. Pull off the knob from the valve stem by lifting it straight up. You may have to wriggle it a bit to get it loose.
