I have a Sign of the Crab 3 handle tub and shower unit. I have no water pressure on the hot water side only. The cold water pours out like crazy. The rest of the house has great hot water pressure. All plumbing has recently been changed from galvanized to copper without any improvement. An attempt to remove a potential air block did not help. I have a whole house filter and excellent deep well that has no sediment. The hot water heater is electric. I have removed the stem and diverter valve and did not see any blockage there. All the time and expense has not helped the pressure at all. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

with the hot stem removed, briefly turn the water back on to see if that blows out the debris causing the restriction.
next thing to try would be shutting the inlet valve at the water heater then with the hot stem removed but the cold intact, turn the cold water on and open the cold handle while blocking the outlet to force the cold water backwards to see if there is any debris inside the valve itself.
