If you are simply replacing the inside parts of the diverter, then you do it just by unscrewing the cap under the handle and pulling out the main ball. If you cannot get the same parts,which may happen if it's old, then you will have to fit an entire new diverter.

If you are removing the entire diverter then you must remove enough of the tile etc, and wall to expose all connections. I have done a few and generally cut all 4 pipes about 6" away from the diverter. I then fit the new diverter in place and make the pipes meet the diverter with short sections of PEX joined to the old pipes with brass compression fittings, and to the diverter with PEX MIP fittings.. Test thoroughly before restoring any parts of the wall. Once you are certain it all works perfectly you can restore the wall and tiles.

How do upgrade on shower faucet in mobile home?

Like any shower, you take the wall apart and change whatever you need to. In some cases this is easy from the shower side and in others easier from the back. - Not a job for amateurs especially if the shower wall is tiled with tile over 10-12 years old. In these cases the back approach is the only way.
