It might have some hard-water stains that make it tricky, but it just needs to be unscrewed.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-111350\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/d27448c698f5f08b2a1d7854f8467e32-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1125\" \/><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-111351\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/0c90d83b6f84a5c97b4042c7a2538ff3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1125\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Step 2 (optional): Replace shower arm.<\/h3>\n<p>My shower arm was old and damaged, so I opted to add a new one. To do so, add some Plumber\u2019s Tape on the threads, and screw it in by hand as tight as you can. Then, wrap a cotton rag around the arm, so you don\u2019t scratch it, and tighten it further with a wrench. Then add the supporting arm base to cover where it comes out of the wall.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-111352\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/75cb63194a7996befe68df65d4e18953-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1125\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Step 3: Screw on the new shower base.<\/h3>\n<p>This part is pretty easy, just screw it in by hand.
