Remove your existing shower head with a wrench. Set the wrench in place and turn the nut to the left to loosen it. Have a hand ready to catch the shower head when it falls so that the metal doesn't crack your shower floor.

Step 2
Clean the threads of the base of the shower faucet with steel wool. Be sure to remove any debris that had collected around the threads. It's a good idea to put down some newspaper or paper towels in the tub so that you can remove the debris instead of washing it down the drain.

Wrap the faucet threads with thread tape. This tape comes with almost all new shower faucets and heads and provides traction for the new hardware.

Place a rubber "O"-ring inside the new shower head at any place that there is a water connection. This prevents a leaky faucet and improves water pressure.
