I removed my tub shower handle and can't remember how to replace.
It sounds easy but it's not so far.
It's a Moen single handle ( hot & cold in one).
The valve has a faceplate that attaches with two screws and depicts the hot and cold mixing scheme on it. in the center of this is where the valve stem is located. It has a chrome escutcheon that slides into the faceplate and over the stem.There is a small -U- schaped clip that slides into the top of the valve body where the valve stem is seated that retains the valve stem. With all this in place all you have left is the acylic handle that has a unique shape to it on the internal portion that corresponds to the shape and position of the valve stm. Align the handle and stem and push the handle on. A small screw goes into the center of the handle to attach it to the valve stem. LASTLY you should have the acrylic button that covers the screw holding the handle on. All you do is align it appropriately and push the button onto the handle. The chrome handle version is essentially the same but is retained by a small allen screw on the underside of the base of the handle. I hope this assists you and thanks for using Fix Ya. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
just more thing i would , after installing the handle .turn on the water and see if you get cold first
if hot water comes on first you will need to remove the handle and turn the stem one half turn then replace the handle.this will flip the hot and cold position note; you will not be removing the cartridge or the retainer clip so there is no need to shut off the water to your house

Remove the handle and see if it will turn off without the handle and if it will reposition the handle alignment and your good to go. If no the cartridge will need to be replaced.

I just can't figure out how the nylon bushings are suppose to go and I've tried many configurations and still can't get it to operate the way it did before the handle broke.
