Hi everyone,
I'm trying to change a washer on a leaky faucet in my tub. I can take the handle off no problem, but then I can't get the stem off. I grab the nut at its base with a wrench and the entire faucet assembly rotates rather than just them stem. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

That may be the way it is supposed to work, but without a picture, or at least a make and model we cannot tell you how to do it.

Sorry. I should have figured that a picture would be necessary. Below are image links of the stem with the handle and cover removed. Sorry the images are so big.

Your pictures are not showing. I noticed you have to upload your pictures to photobucket then add the link to your post. The instructions are on the home page here
