It sounds to me like the rubber o-rings are getting old. Try posting your concerns on the Peerless Customer Support webpage. They can help you identify the model of your faucet and what repair kit to purchase. (Repair is fairly easy, the faucet is repaired in-place). Customer Support Peerless Faucet

if you were able to snap the water lines from shutoffs onto the faucet with a click, look for a small wire clip inserted into the lower/outer half of the joint. TURN OFF THE WATER, then remove the wire clip carefully and the water supply lines should come back apart. the little wire clip goes back into the slot for safekeeping till next time .

Hi nanbooboo...Sorry Your problem shower control valve is ok, but the shower pull that turns on the shower is non-repairable.Replace your shower controller with a new one if you want to solve this leakage problem.Please take time to rate me

hi there:) your problem is caused by the cartridge inside the valve body. could be one of 3 things...1)the cartridge is damaged 2)hard water build up 3)foreign matter. it is not to difficult to replace it yourself: first turn off the water then find the set screw, which holds the handle in place, usually located at the base of the handle and remove it. (look closely/carefully cause it's hiding) then remove the escutcheon ring and the trim sleeve to expose the "bonnet" (lock ring) and remove it. (ritey titey lefty loosey) now you can remove the cartridge and inspect it for debris/damage. if you need a new one just take it w/you to any plumbing supply including home depot and/or lowes and they will help you find it. here is the installation/owners manual from peerless: http://peerless-faucet.com/customer-support/find-repair-parts/documentation/P8760.html hope this helps but if you need anything else just ask:)

If you have enough of a stem left, just file a flat spot on the stem where you want the set screw to stay. You might have to buy a longer set screw though. Take the old one with you and try to find a stainless one - any hardware or home-improvement store will carry them.

That shower hardware is a temp balanced system and has limits build in to it so people like kids don't burn themselves. The limits can be changed but it is not recommended that you do so. The limit on the hot side should be no more then 110 to 115 degrees. If it is less then it needs to be adjusted and the Peerless people should be able to help.

take the handle off and adjust the stop so the handle will go farther and give more hot water

Yes, it can be fixed. Just replace the diverter valve, not a big deal.

Look on the bottom side of handle and see if there is a allen head set screw. Loosen screw and you should be able to remove the handle, Thank you.

If it is leaking by the threads,thread seal tape needs to be put on,wrapping clockwise.Perhaps 2 or 3 layers,from the connecting end about 3/4 of the way up the threading.I realize you say you have a single handle tub and shower faucet,so I assume you mean just 1 head for all but I am covering every scenario since your specific model # is not listed=no definite picture.If it is leaking from the shower head,it could be either the plumbing valve or the shower head valve,most likely the plumbing valve because it should be stopping water from getting there at all,if you have made sure the water is off.You probably have made sure the water is completely off at least 50 times by now though.If there is a faucet head to fill the tub up and it also leaks,it is the plumbing valve.Also,if there is no faucet head,it is most likely the plumbing valve.Are you still with me?lol If the shower head just leaks a little then stops after a couple of minutes,that is pretty normal but since you are posting,it appears to be a new problem.Either way,these valves are mechanical.They have very tight tolerances to prevent water passage and even though they are metal they will eventually wear a little.They really are built well considering the wear and tear they endure compared to how long they last.If you have any questions or need more help,just comment here and I will get an autolink and reply ASAP.Good luck,Greg
