Boy! You made that look easy. My core won't budge.

For the ones who are successful in getting it out, apply a grease that is food safe and to make your future repair easier to do and also you will instantly notice how much better the fixture functions. Take the time to grease all parts for fixtures from now on as well. You will glad that you did down the road. Coming from a plumber that does maintenance ;)

Thank You for this posting. Cost me a fraction of what I was charges a few months ago for another bath. The whole job was done in 20 minutes or less.

I watched several other how-to videos but yours was more detailed about installing and how the removal tool is designed to function. The other videos actually were giving the impression that you needed to tighten the removal tool until you couldn't even turn it with the vice-grips to extract the old cartridge. Your video was short and sweet and showed how the tool was actually designed to remove the old cartridge and saved me $300. Appreciate you and thank you!!!

Very helpful. Was able to complete this job easily based on your instructions

Great video! Very well explained and made the job really easy without breaking anything. A couple issues I had was the puller came to an end before I was able to get the stem out of the valve body so I slowly rotated the handle on the puller back and forth while pulling and it finally came out. The other issue I had was getting the new stem to slide into the valve body. I destroyed my first stem trying to force it in even after applying lubrication. I took a toothbrush and some calcium/lime remover and scrubbed the inside of the valve body for 30 minutes. The second stem I coated in petroleum jelly and it slid right in with little effort. Never use a metal brush or sandpaper inside the valve body or you might have some new drips. Hope this helps.

Hey man I just wanna say thank you you save me a bunch of money and we got it handled thanks a lot

Thank you I just bought one of these get ready to do it in the future

Life saver thank you for this video.

nice work!... helped a lot ... ge=reat detail without tooooo much talking - enjoyed

Just bought an OEM Moen cartridge puller from Amazon. The phillips end (of the screw) has been replaced with an 8 mm hex screw. Best if you have a socket to screw that in and out.

Thanks for the video I had no idea how to attach this tool correctly

Very useful. Thank your for the upload and big LIKE.

This shit worked exactly like the video except I had to line it up a little so I could get the tiny piece that holds the Core in place! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥

Done. Thanks

Thank you!!!

good info,,,thanks

Thank you bro

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREW! Just get it snug. This is directly from the instructions, especially if you want to reuse the cartridge. Definitely use plumbers grease before putting the new one in. It might be hard to pull... I had to pull about 100 times to get it out... Great video. Thanks.

Thank you

Big thanks for the info,,,,,

Thanks for the correction. Im not a plumber and there are 4 tools needed. Trying to keep my channel simple.

I would give this 1000x likes if I could.

those fail often fastest way to remove old cartridges is a hot air gun, I use a blow torch for 5-10 seconds , then a lil wiggle pull with vice grips and bam !! slides out fast keep a lil spray bottle to spray and cool afterwards

Nice For INFO tnx.

You removed the cartridge look so easy. For me, it was very hard to get out.

try doing it with a corroded old style 1200 valve.....you'll pull the inner core out

What if the stem broke off?? Can I still use the puller??

I see a lot of videos for Moen products. Is there a universal tool that will work on all brands? I have a 35 year old brand called stanadyne that I've never heard of before and the cartridge is not budging. Thank you!

Why do ppl come on here and feel they need to critique everything??? He’s showin how the fuck it’s supposed to work smfh!! There some real haters out here! Makes no sense!!

As others have said, it doesn't happen this easy.

I don't know what cartridge is in my faucet so how can I know what replacement cartridge and tool to get to remove the old cartridge?

I had more difficulty opening the city water shut-off cover than replacing the shower valve 😅

Mine cracked loose but is spinning but not coming out....now what?

I just use vise grips

In the real life never works that easy, it’s a great tools but I’m pretty sure you put that cartridge in the valve just before you started recording the video, also, you used your channellocks backwards.

My notch dropped. Can I still use this tool to pull it out?

Almost every cartridge I pull out the rubber gets stuck inside the fixture making the cartridge a mf to get out. Wd40 helps what a pain in the ass plus most of thr time the water shut off screws never work so I have to shut the water down to the whole damn building just for a cartridge lol

Never works that easy/ The stem always strips out, and there's never enough throw on the extractor

Here is a simple trick to get the valve out. Take off the shower head and replace with a standard end cap (1/2" black iron cap - less than $2). Take the pin off the cartridge and turn on the main water supply. Wait until the valve is pushed out by water pressure or you can help it out with pliers. (Have someone ready to turn off water supply) Done!

It would be nice if it worked that easy. 3 of the 4 I have worked like that but the 4th has a lot of whatever on it and I can't get it to move! By the way, when you do instructional videos learn how to use the tools correctly. You used the channel lock pliers backwards (turn it over and re-grip). Just FYI.

It NEVER comes out that easy. I'm about to chain the end of this shit to my F150 to yank it out. Good luck and Godspeed if the things been in there for 2 yrs+

You listed 3 tools needed...then immediately used a fourth tool... Then you use the channel locks wrong.

Don't buy it , it is a piece of chit

What a ridiculous video. Sure it's easy when the valve is already broke loose.Which is obvious by all the hand turning.

This is why you shuld not use Moen

KZfaq Plumbers. I fix that!

Thank you
