My shower pipe for the main head is pointing to the side so that the water shoots out towards the wall, any ideas on how to get it to turn back towards the center of the tub? I've tried a crecent wrench, but it doesn't have enough grip to turn the pipe in the right direction.

You need a big pair of pliars, or channel locks. Maybe a pipe wrench if you have one. Wrap a washcloth around the pipe, though, so it isn't scratched

A pipe wrench will give you the grip. You may also try placing a heavy screwdriver or rod inside the pipe and using it as a lever to move the pipe back into position.

I would use a pliers and rag. I would also remove the pipe and reseal the threads with teflon tape because if you turn the pipe counter clockwise to straighten it your pipe may not have a good seal and leak water into the wall cavity.

use a rubber gripper like you would use to open a jar.
