[Shop-talk] Removing tub spout

[Steven Trovato]

If there is nothing else visible, then the spout usually just 
unscrews.  You can get a pipe wrench and turn it, or try sticking a 
screwdriver into the spout and using that as a lever to unscrew 
it.  Of course, if you have plans to reuse the spout, then care and 
padding are required to prevent damage to the surface.  If you're 
putting on a new one anyway, you can be a little less careful.
