Gentlemen....I am a 1990 Hunter Legend 35.5 owner and have found myself in an identical predicament.....the shower hose connection has failed and I have no earthly idea as to how to replace the valve assembly. I have access to the hot & cold water shut off valves under the sink in the head however, I do not see any way to reach the valve body for shower. I can free the entire assembly from the "shelf" by loosening

the mounting tube, however I fear if I un-thread this too much the lock washer will simply fall off into the abyss below leaving me with a real mess.
Please tell me one of you has had success in this task.
Thanks in advance

you can get access by removing the horizontal wood trim and the screws its hiding. There was also 1 hidden screw coming from the cabinet above the sink that i had to cut as i could not remove it. Once that was done i was able to lift shower wall forward

Thank you very much Canonshootternb.
Quick follow up question- Did you remove screws from both the top of the shower panel as well as the intermediate seam?
Appreciate your help.

Yes I removed those 4 screws + the 1 hidden screw that I had to cut off. It was on the top right edge of the shower piece you are trying to remove. I was not able to remove the panel completely but was able to pull out from the bottom far enough to reach and work behind it
