# How to Remove a Rockwell Shower Faucet
A Rockwell shower faucet is designed with a handle and stem, like many other types of shower faucets, so it is removed in much the same way. The process requires few plumbing skills, most of the work involves turning the right wrench and knowing which parts of the faucet to remove first. If you ever have to replace one of the stems in this type of faucet, you will remove most of it in order to access the stems.
