Thanks for the "several days later". My wife was wondering why this took me so long with a wall-mount. The special tool didn't work, but the principle of it told me what to do. I took the philips screw that originally was mounted in the cartridge and screwed it back in all the way, then pulled it with pliers. FINALLY came out.

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

Nov 14/23, wow thank you for this, so helpful. I called Moen and they sent me new cartridges and handles all for free and my tub is 18 years old.

Hey, that’s great. Good luck on your repair. I’ve had pretty good luck with Moen’s customer service.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for your wonderful video! In my case, I have a 24 year old installation but it took only an hour to replace the hot water cartridge. I cheated by using a little bit of WD40 to make it possible to twist and pull the old cartridge out (we don't really use the tub and definitely not drinking from it). My faucet looks exactly like yours and the cartridge number is 1248B and the Moen tool model number is #14272 like everyone pointed out.

I'm in the same situation you have. Coming close to 20 years since my tub was installed. The only difference between our tubs is that my taps/spout have a few polished brass accents. I now see why I'm stumped with changing out the cold water side cartridge. I don't have the retaining nut removal tool. I'm not looking forward to tackling this change out now. Wish me luck....

If you can’t get a hacksaw blade try using some CLR or vinegar down the hole to dissolve the minerals it may come out easier

I got to the point of using the tool to remove the retaining nut and it came out about 20 or so turns then it stopped. I sprayed some CLR foam spray into it and that helped a little but at this point the nut is gnarled to the point that it's stuck where it is. How did you end up cutting the retaining nut?
