You are correct. Since there's no screw, just turn the spout counterclockwise and remove it from the pipe coming through the wall. Depending on the type of spout you're going to install, you might have to cut the threads off the end of the pipe and tighten the spout in place with the screw on the new spout.
You should be able to spread those plastic strips enough to pull the diverter rod out. Cleaning the inside area and pieces might be all you need to do.
That threaded adapter came with the spout. The threads will be standard but the distances could be different with different spouts.

I have the same faucet. Same type of diverter. I took out the diverter per your and others on YouTube instructions. Wanted to see if lime and scale were causing a bad seal. So I put my finger in there.
What came out stumps me. A chunk, like flat thread of metal. Put it together and it still leaked. So I took it apart again. Thats when the second sliver fell out. Two slivers of metal. I thought it was the faucet, but I think what I got were two pieces of solder. It works like new now. I'll see how long it lasts, but it operates smooth and really stops all water from running out the faucet and it all comes out the shower head now. It even unlocks when it's turned off and drains out the water from the faucet. I won't have to remember to push it down now. So better than before. Has this ever happened before?
I thought those pieces were a worn out piece inside, but it seems like they were in there since the install. I attached a pic to this alternate answer.
Hi fixit,
My tub faucet (Kohler Taboret K-T8224-4-CP) started leaking the other day with the diverter up. I went to the hardware store and purchased a Danco "universal" Tub Spout Diverter Repair Kit. However, when I looked underneath the faucet, I saw this cap (second picture) that I couldn't make budge (even with a pair of pliers). Most Tub Spout Diverter repair videos I saw online have the stem be right at the end of the spout but mine is in the middle. I was assured that the installation process and parts are more or less the same. However, I can't even get to the diverter right now, much less replace it.
I rather not call a plumber for a $5 part. Do I have to get a new tub spout?
The lift gate portion of my tub's spout diverter was a little loose the other day, so of course my kid decided to play with it and unscrew the lift gate entirely and drop all of the parts out of the spout.
I figured it'd be an easy fix, but I can't, for the life of me...figure out how to get this thing back together, due to one issue, which I'll explain in the pics below. Just looking for some advice.
It's a delta spout. Not sure of the model #
The lift gate sits in this grey contraption, which is placed inside the bottom of the spout.
This little guy's my problem....
From what I see, this stopper needs to sit in the groove at the bottom of the lift gate. Ideally, pretty sure this is what the final result should look like once installed within the spout.
Problem is, as you see, the grey thing the lift gate sits in, COMPLETELY covers the bottom of my spout. I can't get the rubber stopper up into the spout because this grey thing provides me no space to do so!
So my fix attempt went as follows:
-
Insert the grey base thing into the bottom of the faucet, but leaving a tiny bit of space to still shove the rubber stopper up and in.
-
Insert the lift gate in through the top of the spout and down into the grey base.
-
Attempt to slide the rubber stopper up over the grey base and into position within the spout and get it to slide into place, at the bottom of the lift gate.
-
Fail miserably.
There's just no wiggle room inside the bottom of the spout to get that rubber stopper in place. Unless I'm missing something, it seems to me, that stopper needs to be placed in last after the lift gate is lowered in from the top of the spout, into the grey base, so I can theoretically sort of snap the stopper into place at the bottom of the lift gate.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks
