Went to take a shower this AM, turned the sprayer away from the door, and the whole thing broke off in my hand! :wall: The shower arm is broken off flush in the elbow in the wall. I've been unable to get enough leverage with the needle nosed pliers to get the broken off male threads out of the elbow - any suggestions?

Welcome to the DIY Forums.
You will probably need a 1/2" pipe E-Z out. These are available at home centers and hardwares. Hopefully the elbow is supported in the wall. You may have to put the E-Z out in a socket to reach the piece. Good luck.

Thanks so much for the help! I knew that had to be a pretty common problem, and that somebody would know what to do. Anyway, once I finally found an EZ out the right size, it worked great and so does our new shower head. Thanks again!
