It usually can be pried out with a screw driver, pulled out with needle nose, or drilled out/knocked out. Obviously I always do my own before install and I would never ever do one for a customer or tell a customer to do it for themselves . When I have to drill or knock it out, I get all the pieces. I also remove the screen. The screen just gives it a nice soft air flow, but slightly restricted.


My PP diverter/shower was a 2.2gph and now it's a 5.8. Getting shampoo out of your hair is easier too. I was worried my wife might think it's too hard since she is always acting so delicate, but surprisingly she still likes it.
Ok tried all the other stuff with no success.

I took off nozzle aerator as you suggested. Plenty flow with off. The one on left came with faucet I figure the pink disk was restrictor. I couldn’t get it apart, but I did have new one in my plumbing kit. I was able to take it apart and remove the green disk restriction.

Now getting plenty of flow, 8 cups in 10 seconds. Thanks ! Now I got more flow than before.
