Plumbing – How to remove this shower fixture

plumbingshower

I'm a little desperate here. When we moved into this home, we inherited this shower fixture. Now it's leaking. But, I can't figure out how to remove it!?

I've tried to back it all the way off and looked for a set screw on the bottom. I can't find any manuals online for this part. Any ideas?

It looks like the screw in the center is missing (the hole in the center of the piece that says "off"). I would try pulling on that center part to remove it (the screw that was there probably was to hold it in place but now that it is gone it should come off... easier said than done). You will probably need to pull fairly hard or even use a screw driver to slowly pry it off (especially if it has been on for a long time it might take some work to get it off). Then once that center piece comes off you should see the other screws that are holding the rest of the unit on.
