  • Beware some heads have a circular nut and an adjustable wrench will not work for that. You will need to use pliers instead. Thanks for the instructions!

  • @RCDawg85 The "nut" on mine is mostly round, and at first I thought I wouldn't be able to use a wrench. But it turns out that two sides of it are flat, so I can use a wrench on it after all.

  • @RCDawg85 I have the same problem here... I've just purchased the wrench and I was so ready to get this done in 2 minutes and the project was dead after 5 minutes of trying to take my stupid old shower head off. Now what?

  • I'm sorry, but I tried this and it was impossible. For one, the "nut", so to speak, is round and not hexagonal, so when you tighten the adjustable wrench and turn, it just slips on the nut. There's absolutely no traction whatsoever, and it's hardly possible to tighten the wrench enough to gain enough traction.

    LOL... believe me most household projects are extremely simple. you just need the right tool and a tiny bit of muscle

  • So....what if I want to install a shower head for smart people?

  • @3BIGB12 You pretty much need the plumbers tape. I wouldn't bother skipping that.
