I was trying to save some money and just changed the O-rings in the diverter instead when there was leak in the shower spout. It worked probably for 2 months and the problem was back. I got tired of making the change every 2 months, and left the leak as is. But it got annoying and started staining the bath tub (black spots, organic build up).
I finally gave up and brought the original part (this one) and changed the whole setup. It is not a 2 min easy change (at least the first time), but I was used to dismantling and reassembling. You do have to shut off the house's water valve before you start. AND use a thick white towel to cover the drain valve, to catch any screws or tiny parts that may slip from your hand. There are lots of youtube videos (just search for the part number) on how to change it.
I did encounter a minor issue, where I had to reuse an old handle adapter screw (since I bought "Used- Very Good" from Amazon Warehouse, it was missing a couple of pieces, no big deal). But it did the job. Stopped the leak completely and the handle is the right amount of tight now.
