Remove a Mobile Home Bathtub Faucet Spout
Removing a bathtub faucet in a mobile home requires access to the faucet from behind the wall. Unlike a traditional faucet you can't remove a mobile home faucet by removing the handles and screws from the front. It is likely you will need to cut open the wall behind your tub to access the water lines and faucet components before you can remove and replace it. If the only way to access the faucet is through the wall then you can upgrade your bathroom by installing an access panel for the next time you want to make a faucet repair. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Shut off the main water supply to the mobile home. Turn on the hot and cold tap in the faucet to clear the water lines so there won't be a puddle on your floor when you remove the lines from the faucet.
2. Remove the access panel in the wall behind the faucet. It may be glued on or screwed on requiring a pry bar or a drill to remove it. If there is no access panel, cut through the drywall with a utility knife.
3. Place a towel on the floor under your work area to protect your floor and disconnect the water lines by unscrewing the plastic connectors which should be hand tight. Use a wrench if the connectors are too tight but use extreme caution not to damage the plastic connectors.
4. Remove the 2 plastic mounting by unscrewing them counterclockwise by hand.
5. Remove the faucet by pulling it from the wall.
