Step 2 · Remove the Old Shower Head

Begin by removing the old shower head. In most cases, it can be unscrewed by hand by turning it counter-clockwise. If it is too tight due to mineral buildup or age, wrap a soft rag around the shower head's connector nut and use an adjustable wrench or channel-lock pliers to grip it. Turn counter-clockwise to loosen and remove it from the old shower arm.
