How to replace a cracked plastic shower faucet knob

I am renting in an apartment and my shower knob has been cracking. Today it finally cracked again and now I can no longer tighten it fully meaning my showerhead is now dripping. I found what I believe is a replacement for it: Shower Faucets My question is, do I have to turn off water before replacing the knob? I would rather not involve maintence crews and do not have any reason to believe that the valve is broken, just the shitty plastic piece. Thank you! submitted by /u/Project_Jumpy [link] [comments]
