Hi Everyone,
My father in law has a shower fixture that is leaking in two places. It is a Moen brand, likely 25-30 years old.

It is leaking through the front of it and I suspect some new gaskets would do wonders, but how would this be taken apart? It looks like it has some sort of brass ring with a cut in the top and bottom being held in be the part you can see sticking out at the top. I could tap downward on this, but I don't see how it works on the inside and am not sure this is the best plan.
Also, on the right side where the copper enters it, there is a very tiny leak and a lot of corrosion. Could this leak be fixed by clearing away some of the corrosion and using JB weld or something similar?
Thanks,
Alan
