    I agree completely with noloseya. If you are gonna show how to repair a shower valve, at least use the same valve you are repairing. And just changing the washer, the first one. the friction ring, the second one, which is unnecessary by the way unless it is damaged. and the bonnet washer, the third one. you will find that you still have a leak. The seats have to be changed on a price pfeister shower valve, as well as any seated valve, a shower valve or a basin faucet. better luck next time.

    there is a small o ring inside the shower head… remove it ……………… that will give you more pressure

    the shower mixer nozzle may not have been balanced properly giving uneven pressure or you have low flow showerhead and need to remove the flow restrictor thats what i googled anyway…hope it helps
