Single mom here. Hiring a plumber just wasn’t in the budget so I tried to change the shower cartridge myself. Of course I had an old cartridge that was Very stuck even with the Moen tool. I couldn’t get anything to work. I watched your video and using the tool with a wrench, was able to finally get the old cartridge out! Thank you for your expertise, great video!

[@Hindsight101]

Wow thanks for the comment

[@terrymorton4314]

Mine was removed from a calcified 20 yr install. The Danco tool worked for me after watching this video showing how to properly use it. I also sprayed some loosener and just slowly got it out. When I went to install the new one, I cleaned the valve tube, but the calcium had built up so much that I couldn't insert it. Since there was no turning back, I sat patiently with CLR and a small steel brush and worked out the gunk. Once the new cartridge would slide in without excessive force, I got the clip back in and wrapped it up. Thank you for this great video👍

[@Hindsight101]

You're welcome and wow that sounded like a pain

[@mKierstenk]

My parents had been using a wrench to just turn their cartridge stem for years after their handle broke. So the stem itself was smashed and unable to thread a remover into it. After applying heat using a hair dryer for 15 minutes (and an additional 10 minutes when it still wouldn't budge), the cartridge basically slid right out. I wish the puller could've worked for their cartridge, but I wanted to mention the heat in case it helps anyone else.

[@Hindsight101]

Thanks

[@TCh3962]

We are regreting using the heat technique. It caused the plastic to break and the stem to come out, leaving the rest of the plastic and black rubber parts stuck inside and nothing for us to get leverage on to get them out.

[@snarebucker1607]

Hair dryer helped a lot for me. I had the new valve w/ included nylon tool - old valve wouldn’t move a bit. I also had the danco puller; but didn’t want to force it if it was that seized up… saw a lot of nightmare scenarios where the puller failed and broke the valve. Hair dryer for 15 mins - then tried the nylon tool - valve moved a little bit. Immediately used the puller and it slid right out.

Maaaan, that Lakeview Puller is the business. You put me up on game. Brandon goes into the manufacturing of the product, how to use and care for the tool.. when I called the company, BRANDON picked up the phone, unheard of in this day and age. Even shipping was a day faster than Brandon assumed. Awesome product and great service. I spent 2 days trying free a stuck cartridge. My property has at least 10 other units that I feared would’ve been the same struggle, but now with the Puller, I’m looking forward to the task 💪🏾

I am going with Ona, although Lakeshore looks like a winner if you do a lot of these moens. I agree with your comment on Danco replacement cartages being bad...I have tried them several times over the years and they all started to leak within 6 weeks.

[@juliebrown8375]

Excellent video. I wish that I had watched this one before I removed the valve. Your demonstration was much better than the instructions in the package. Since I'm a little old lady, I also used the Danco puller to push the new cartridge back into the valve. I hope I don't have to do the other bathroom anytime soon.

[@Hindsight101]

Hey! Great job for trying something new

[@rafaelgriffogoes4322]

Used the first tool on a VERY stuck cartridge, and it was a hassle. One thing that worked for me was that once the big nut on the removal tool was no longer useful, I took the remover tool out and used vice pliers on the cartridge white plastic body. After a lot of wiggle and pull, it came out. Parts of the rubber of the old cartridge were stuck inside, so I need to clean up a bit (nose pliers, paper towel, etc). This video shows how things works, very useful for first timers, thanks!

[@Hindsight101]

Welcome

[@spektor56]

This was my exact experience, I had to get all the stuck rubber pieces out of the inside of the pipe after I managed to pull it out with pliers. I live in an area with hard water (I do have a kinetico softener though) and had to replace the cartridge on a new home that is only 7 years old.

[@Hindsight101]

It's definitely one way to go

[@Christy.1]

Thank you for this, wish I would've seen it before hand. I used the Danco puller, it's all the store had. Actually tried to read the directions too, but they sucked. And on my faucets, double bath tub faucet, I didn't have a copper pipe sticking out like that, mine was just the plastic piece of the cartridge. So you helped with one, I started using the nut on it to pull it out, and it helped loosen it. The other side, I messed up the plastic and it took me a good hour of just wiggle/pull/wiggle/pull with every tool I had handy. Now, I'm having a hard time getting the new ones in fully. Just a slight gap, they won't budge any further. And putting the handles on...OMG lol. I'm so disgusted, I'm not even going to bother turning the water back on, I'm just going to bed and deal with it tomorrow.

[@Hindsight101]

Do you know the model faucet you have? Someone else had the same kind of cartridge and had the same issue. I need to know the faucet model or cartridge model. Thanks

[@Christy.1]

@@Hindsight101 Oh thank you so much for answering :) Well, no idea what the model is for the faucet, it looks like the Moen Adler Two Handle Bathtub Faucet, the cartridge part was I think 1244. So, after my little fit there, I got up next morning, all refreshed. Took it apart, and I guess putting it back together and screwing the handles back on was enough to make both cartridges go in all the way! I'm guessing it's something to do with the handle screw, but all that plastic, just kept making me nervous constantly screwing in/out. And, the handles are totally out of whack. Instead of turning on from outside to inside, one goes up and down, and the other is at an out to in angle. And I don't care one bit, because they turn off and on, and do not drip when off :) Oh, and I found this link if it helps you at some point or someone else; last picture has all the parts in order. The adapter that's circled, goes into the wall tube in front of it (my tube's brass) apparently there's an o-ring on the adapter, but it was stuck in the tube. I think that's why I was having a hard time with the handles, they just seemed loose and wiggly. Anyway, thank you again!! terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/new-moen-82602-2-handle-cartridges-seem-faulty.96718/#

Thank you so much. This was so clear and detailed.

You're welcome

[@darrinj7937]

So the easiest cheapest way for me after snapping the brass shaft, was drilling a hole ~.25" deep. Then I put a construction screw, similar to a decking screw, getting it as straight as possible. I put the torx/star bit in my dril, not my impact, select high speed and turned the screw/brass full speed until I saw smoke 🤔 or steam and continue 20-30sec after that point. You should hear it sizzling, then grab the screw if secure enough or the cartridge if you have narrow grippie pliers and it slides out with ease. I was surprised because it was a plastic cartridge, but this did the trick. Next time I get a stuck one I'll cross thread a screw into the shaft(instead of snapping it pulling&prying) and spin-cook it until it's well-done.

[@JRoss707]

My stem broke of as I was trying to twist it out. I ended up drilling it out with a 3/8” drill bit, first all the metal components in the middle, then the plastic casing walls. It was a laborious process and took a couple of hours. Of course it was a weekend, and the water had to be shut off, and I worried that I’d actually damage the Moan valve, which would be beyond my expertise to replace, plus I’d probably have to cut into the wall to replace it, either from the outside of the house or remove shower tile. Luckily with a lot of patience and persistence I got it all out.

So, when I was trying to get unstuck, it sounded and felt awful when tightening. But I watched your video again and just gave it a few more twists and it started to some out. Only thing I didn't see in yours or other videos was the pin. I was assuming it went around the cartridge but after rewatching, I was able to see some movement of the pin in front of the cartridge. But love how you explain step by step with some extra details, but no fluff. I went with the Moen in instead of the ACE or the Danco; works so smoothly. Thanks a bunch!!!

Fantastic video and I bought both the tool (Danco core puller) and cartridge at Lowes the tool was $16 and the replacement was $58, and only took a few turns to push out. No need to buy the grease, it comes with a small packet in the kit. To take the tool off, losen the bolt first and the the top screw will come off the tool for reuse. I am now my neighbors expert plumber for these units. Since most of the homes in my area are only about 7 years old and others have been having the same problem and I easily saved $200 to $300 by not calling a plumber. I am a youtube engineer and proud of it, from plumbing, electrical, gardening, putting my back in place and keeping my 3 vehicles running. Thank You. ( Just remember to read the numbers on the top of the cartridge to find the correct one at the hardware store and remember to turn off water and release the pressure on the shower valve first and be ready to put a towel under the pipe, because you will still get some water popping out and you don't want this to run down the back of the wall. Plus, plug the drain, so no screws fall down, also use the plastic part to push in the new cartirdge)

Since then I watched a lot of videos. One guy uses a 1/2 die, he makes threads in the old cartridge then uses a 1/2 bolt the remove. I got the old one and I gone to get a die and try it.

[@Hindsight101]

I have a video linked in the description that demonstrates that method

[@down4thecause]

if the screw from the handle is broken inside the cartridge, can one tmof the pullers still be used? any suggestions?

[@Hindsight101]

You will need to find a way to extract that screw. They do make extractors for stuff like that. Just find one that's small enough

[@TheDannyB96]

Hey man, I was able to pull out , but now it won’t go in smoothly. Any tips? I’d appreciate it man!

[@Hindsight101]

There's probably some buildup if you can take a wire brush in there and kind of scrape some stuff out and then once you're done run the water through it to flush any of that stuff that you scraped away off and then try to reinsert the cartridge

[@rower41]

Very good. I think the basic puller (Danco for about $20) causes more problems than it solves as I've seen a few folks break their cartridges with this puller. The ONA seems like a great idea but it a bit pricey considering you'll likely only use it a few times in your life and then lose it ;-). For pros it would be great. I decided to just call a plumber when I had mine badly stuck... just didn't want to cause a bigger problem and even more expense. Great video! Thanks.

[@Hindsight101]

thank you

[@titovs2100]

The Danco Tool failed me. The Screw Head stripped. The metal is very soft.

[@Hindsight101]

Yes they are very soft. I dont know why

[@DaMacy1989]

Mine broke off inside too! What did you do???

[@TAX357]

Put the Blow Dryer On It!!! 💯💯💯🤝

[@Hindsight101]

I have heard that heat would help

[@heidik-lady8135]

This seems really promising. Thanks

[@Hindsight101]

Welcome

[@billnorris8457]

Well done! Thank you

[@Hindsight101]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Hellbob6]

Thank you very much; this video helped a lot.

[@Hindsight101]

No problem

[@soulv2568]

Best video

[@Hindsight101]

Thank you

[@FreddyDanny]

I decided to buy the Ona puller after watching this video. If I were plumber I would buy the Lakeview puller too. Thanks a lot for the video.

[@Hindsight101]

Welcome

[@grousedog88]

Shoot it.

[@Hindsight101]

Lol

[@ladawngurley4582]

Oh my goodness!! Thank you for clarifying that when using the Danco puller as you turn and it gets loose, keep tightening down the puller nut because it means it's loosening!!!! Yesssssss!!!!!!!! Thank you!

[@Hindsight101]

You're welcome! It took me making two videos to figure that out

[@luisgonzalez-garcia3492]

I have a better one than those shown. They're ok. So it has not broken the brass piece out. Soon will be out. Have a real action videos pulling the cartridges both. No breaks yet and don't have to worry about the tool getting stuck in the valve. Like the first tool you showed. Plastic extractor. But great job in explaining.

[@Hindsight101]

Please share with the channel and I can make a video

[@andrewv3007]

LOL I already had mine unstuck when I stumbled on this video and it turns out that useless white plastic piece was actually the solution! (don't get me wrong I thought it was useless when I saw it too - pretty flimsy - but it actually worked and only warped slightly)

[@Hindsight101]

I'm glad it worked out for you but for many of mine since I have hard water that thing would not have lasted

[@nevartbabaian5354]

you did a great job in explaining how to remove a stuck mow, I have the same problem, but the plumber could not remove it, i wish you were i Glendale, ca area to hire you, I am losing so much water in dreping. thank you

[@Hindsight101]

I hope you get it fixed good luck

[@katieray7974]

I had a plumber tell me that because the old cartridge we have is made of metal, it's been corroded and stuck to the valve body. Does that mean none of these tools will work...? He said my only solution is to open the wall and replace the entire valve.

[@Hindsight101]

Granted I'm not a plumber but I have heard that metal cartridges are a lot worse. You can try solvents and heat or one of the tools I used but there's no guarantee

[@keithmulkey3352]

This is great UNLESS it had been installed for 15 years like mine...then, you gotta bust it up to get it out

[@Hindsight101]

I've done that before not fun
