How to replace a cartridge on Grohe Bridgeford Kitche faucet

[@boatmanmark1983]

I put our Bridgeford Faucet in years ago and forgot how to take it apart. Nice job explaining. For those of you having trouble unscrewing the cap (O) use a rubber glove for a good grip. I ordered my cartridge but it will take a few days to get here. In the meantime I took the handle and cover off and tightened the two screws a bit that hold the cartridge in and it seems to have stopped the leaking.

Thank you very much! I had no idea how to remove the faucet handle. At first I was trying to pry off the cap! I have no leaks, but the handle drops if not turned fully forward or backward. Likely it's cartridge wear. Thanks to your video I now can easily replace the cartridge. Thank you!

Hi how are you? I have Grohe Eurodisc since 2006. It started leaky and dripping. How to fix it other that replacing the cartridge? And any tips on removing the really tight handle?

Hello Mike, sorry for the delayed reply. Where does the leak originates from? Does it leaks all the time or only leaks while the water is on? For the tight handle, you can use a hair dryer to warm up the handle, which will help to remove it.

@@miketsai75 Use medium high for about 5 to 10 minutes, which shouldn't damage the coating.

@@miketsai75 Did you see if the leak originates from the supply lines? If not, then the issue is with the cartirdge.

I am so far unable to remove part "S" which appears to just pull out, but mine is stuck. I tried WD-40 but so far no luck. Any ideas?

[@jeffevans6188]

update: I reattached the faucet handle which gave me more of a grip and greater leverage, was able to pull it straight out. Overall, before replacing parts, I gently scraped and buffed off mineral deposits
