How I can remove cartridge Moen shower faucet if it freezes?
I tried to remove the valve cartridge Moen shower (almost 20 years), since the leak, but I can not leave the cartridge all? Any suggestions on what might help to remove without a break?
so use a pair of tweezers and grab the brass rod and lever against the body part that contains the cartridge. First, if some things sure the tap water and ensure has come to the fork stem mount type in. If twenty years ago, the cartridge body is probably made of bronze and is almost glued yourself. If you look at the top cartridge, you will see that there are two places in front of each one is bigger than the rest of the top. You should try to get the cartridge to move. screwdriver and jackhammer. You can take a pair of needle nose pliers and place them within the cartridge containing the valve and try to get the cartridge to move in this way. It will be released, but the key is to remove the cartridge movement. And once you commit to go ahead and get your replacement cartridge ready to put in. I installed Moen 1000 and worked in one (50-100 in 30 years and that is why we are good enough to last 20 years.
