The secret of removing the Moen cartridges is don't pull on the stem until you have gotten the outer shell of the cartridge to turn inside of the valve body. If the rubbers are stuck the center stem will be pulled out of the cartridge and you will have to then remove the stuck cartridge. When that happens I use a 12mm tap threaded into the cartridge and then either twist or pull out the stuck cartridge with vice grips on the tap. Ugly and slow but it works.

No. You didn't try everything you could. Cartridge is plastic. You can chip away at it with screw driver, drill, long nose pliers and hammer combination. I've done it multiple times in similar situation. There is risk of damaging valve body, but because sealing surface is pretty wide small scratches and dents usually is not a problem. You can also apply some heat to the valve body to melt or soften plastic a bit. Breaking off tabs on top and bottom and twisting cartridge also helps cutting gasket to make it easier to pull.
@pershingplumbing9007Күн бұрын
@lambition just because I didn't film everything doesn't mean I didn't try it. I have to make a judgment call on time at some point. I've chipped these things out for 2 hrs before and then boom you actually damage the valve body or the new cartridge leaks. In this situation I made a judgment call on time that a new valve would cost the same as if I sat there for 2 to 3 hrs chipping it out. Plus the homeowner wanted the new shiny trim and the old stuff was soooo crusty they were happy with a new valve

It happens, I usually just keep twisting it in circles(both directions) and it ends up cutting/chewing the rubber and it comes out. We have a LOT of Moens around my area.

Sometimes they are tough to get them out. The rubber seals you mention slide out of place and get caught in the input slots inside the valve body. Last week I had a call to fix the same valve on an outside shower. While trying to pull cartridge out, the spindle broke in half leaving half in the valve body. Luckily it was an easy fix as it was in an outside shower. Here in Massachusetts we must use single lever valves, (antiscald valve) That is one reason I don't like Posi-temp valves. In addition to there is no volume control. It is either on or off. I miss the Moentrol cartridges

Those Moen posi temp cartridges can be a huge pain to pull. There is so much rubber touching the inside of the valve body that it creates an enormous amount of friction. Add in a little scale build-up and you have a real problem on your hands. Horrible design.

Rarely do I ever have something to share with you knowledge wise. Should you encounter that again, when the stem snaps off the cartridge you can break the inner core with a smaller flathead then fold the outer core in on itself and extract it with needle nose pliers. The issue is the rubbers on the side. One guy already said the ona puller, I don't have one but everybody swears by them.

Shower cartridges can turn from a 5 minute job to a 2 hour job real quick. It's 50/50, sometimes they slide right out and other times you have to fight them. They make better cartridge pullers than those Home Depot ones now fyi. It's totally worth the investment to get one of those.
