Tub diverter - need help to identify and repair

[jmulla]

The diverter handle for my tub broke off. The handle set screw grabs on to a tiny piece o plastic that protrudes from the stem.

1) Can anyone identify the make model from the pictures?
2) Any help on how to fix? Is there any hope of finding a replacement stem?
3) I haven't been able to disassemble any further than what is shown in the pics. My faucet wrench set is too "thick" to fit in the tiny space between the lock-nut and escutcheon. Am I supposed to be able to unscrew the escutcheon first with strap wrench?

Thanks for any help.

Did you try unscrewing the protruding handle from the base?

tanks: Do you mean the white plastic piece? That is the stem of the diverter. I don't think it would "unscrew". I just moves back and forth to control flow between the tub and shower.

I am going to try unscrewing the escutcheon. But please send more suggestions.

Unscrew the escutcheon to expose the locking nut that removes the stem.

Thanks, John. Got it off. Luckily, the broken part is not the main stem, but a stem extender! Delta # RP18627.





Thanks!

My google search I came up with this.

GOBO diverter handle extension

Looks an extension for a cartridge

Thanks, David. I found just the stem extension at homedepot.com for $5.10.
