diverter replace
the diagram I drew up will give you some idea on how the thing in your wall is put together. your supplies come in from the bottom. the shower leg comes off the top, while the tub spout on the bottom. the mechanism in the spout consists of a metal plate that rises when you pull up in the knob. it effectively blocks the flow of water to the tub and the water backs up into the vertical pipe going to your shower. the diverter plate is held there by water pressure.
