    Seven years later and you just helped me! Trying to remove an "old" faucet and looking under the sink I can barely move and well my light is casting shadows all over. I'm so confused because of some gold cover, the collar! I'm thinking do I tug it, twist it? Finally looking and looking I notice the faint words MOEN on the faucet up at the sink but it was really faded. Go searching for models used in 2015 online... Lol. Somehow come upon your video and in your explanation and video here, I "get it." Go back, then I see a bolt on my model that presses against the collar to tighten the assembly to the unit above! THAT'S IT!!!
    Sounds silly but I was stumped. But you gave me the clue. I loosened it enough to see that yes this will let me pull the assembly out and I'll do that tomorrow. (Dinner time where I am now.) But thanks again for posting this. You saved me from having to call a plumber.

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Tried to remove old Moen faucet from 2002 RV without instructions or tool. Your video told me everything I needed to know. Everything was well rusted, but 3-in-1 oil, and 30 minutes soak time made all the difference. New faucet (not Moen) is in.

    Your video still is highly useful. After 5 yrs of use, I ran into the same problem as you with this Moen faucet. Your removal solution saved me hours of frustration figuring how to remove it without that Moen tool. Tnx

    Thanks Craig! This is very helpful, as I'm removing a faucet like your old Moen & there's zero room under the sink to do much. But despite the tight quarters (I have to lie half way on my side through a narrow cabinet opening - it's in our trailer) I must get the faucet out. Your video has already helped me.

    Craig,
    Thanks for your time to do this video, much appreciated. I was having a hard time disconnecting the Tap/Faucet hose line when I found your video. Once I found the correct box wrench, it came off and using an old spark plug socket wrench, the entire faucet came out without me getting up once. Now you know how old I am, having a spark plug socket! Sure wish I could tune up my truck, like the old days.
    Thanks again for your helpful video.

    @thomasgorman1535 Год назад

    I had a different moen kitchen faucet, which developed the same leak issue. Also, I found that a washer less faucet only means there is a valve part that will need to be replaced more often and much more expensive than washers and seat repair.
    I've had this moon junk for 10 years, replaced that valve assembly 8 times and eve bought 2 spare units because you never know when it will fail. Also, the cheep sprayer attachment, weak plastic water connector leaked when ever it decided. My Mom's house faucet, over 60 years, same faucet, has needed washers or seat repairs only 4 or 5 times.
    Did I say, "I'll never moen again." Yes, you can quote me.

      @albertobucholz7683 6 лет назад

      Robert Ruehman Moen is not a crappy product American Standard and Delta are. I started noticing issues with that particular hose a year-and-a-half almost two years ago and I brought that to their attention and every time I called them for a new hose they would send me a couple of them at a time so I didn't need to keep calling them and they said that they were working on redesigning the inside. Moen is a great product so good luck with whatever shitt brand faucet you buy

  • @docsmallblock6584

    I just went through this today! What I did was took off wing bolt things underneath that holds sink plate or whatever in place, then loosened up the top portion of faucet and I was able to lift it up from sink to get a sawzall blade in there and I just zipped it off in 5 seconds! But that was after wrestling with it underneath for a while!
    Said screw this,went and grabbed the sawzall,
    Faucet off!

  • @jerrypierce8965
    @jerrypierce8965 5 лет назад +1

    Most Moen faucets have a life time warranty on their (most)stuff. No labor but they send you the stuff you need for free...no shipping either. I'm not sure this guy got that kind of warranty on his replacement. Moen makes good stuff and stands behind it. I'll buy Moen every time. I hate to hear folks bash on a company with no more info than that. Replacing the hose would have been easier than the whole faucet and if it was done before all the leaking and corrosion it wouldn't have been hard to do. I wonder how much it ruined the cabinet and flooring before he really got to fixing it.?

  • @PMint8
    @PMint8 7 лет назад +1

    In the UK you use a basin wrench , it's kind of a open ended tool with a different size at each end to suit either 15mm or 22mm BSP fittings. It's not failed to get one off yet lol.

    • @paytonsilverman4839
      @paytonsilverman4839 7 лет назад +1

      The problem with this Moen crap is that that washer that holds the water lines up against the nut prevents the basin wrench from turning.

      He won't get that kind of customer service with American Standard. He destroys a Moen faucet because he's not competent enough to remove it properly. Then he bad mouths the plumber for leaving that tool with him. What was the plumber supposed to do with it.......add it to his collection ?

    • @craig1974
      @craig1974  7 лет назад +5

      I did not know we had the tool until after i installed the new faucet. I was cleaning below the sink after the install when i found it. I can care less about Moen's warranty. The faucet was problematic, and i was not going to call customer service for another flawed part. The new American Standard faucet is awesome so far.

    Stay away from Moen. I'm trying to install one now and the idiots left out the mounting plate and brass nut & washer to mount, called costumer service and was told to wait 3 days without a kitchen sink due to buying their $200 faucet from them. If I buy a 3/8th s nut to replace it, it voids my warranty. Somehow they think its my fault their to lazy to check the box before shipping.

  • @hashtagjustadad5110
    @hashtagjustadad5110 5 лет назад

    This might help one of y’all. I did not have the tool to remove an old omen faucet. I ended up using a spark plug socket. I removed the rubber insert from the socket and it worked perfectly.

    • @rightsideofthegrass8114
      @rightsideofthegrass8114 4 года назад

      Why wouldn't any deep socket work? The nut is probably 3/4" 7/8" right?

    • @hashtagjustadad5110
      @hashtagjustadad5110 4 года назад

      Rightsideofthegrass because of how the deep socket is built, it does not allow the bolt to go all the way down. A spark plug socket is limited in depth by the rubber grommet which is removable. A traditional deep socket is wide enough for the nut but tapers down and therefore the bolt will not fit. I hope that makes sense.

    • @rightsideofthegrass8114
      @rightsideofthegrass8114 4 года назад +1

      @@hashtagjustadad5110 Thanks. I installed mine more than 15 years ago, and believe it will need replacing soon. The cone/collar under the handle will not stay positioned. I looked under the sink, "How did I ever get than on, and how will I ever get it off?" When I saw some videos and saw the installation tool, then I remembered. But, I was 99.999% sure that tool was long gone, so was looking for another way. I decided to do some looking in my workshop, and, ... I found it! It is labeled, complete with date! So, I can use it and will not need a socket. As a side note, I didn't think a spark plug socket and deep socket were different. But, I don't think I have looked at them in that way. I have a couple of different sizes, so will examine them closely the next time I have my tool boxes open.

Sadly I was already a hour drive to replace it so I crossed my fingers....fast forward 3 months and its popped out of the groove. Sure I could get another POS Renzo oring for free but what's the point its going to fail as quickly as the original as its way to small to be held captive under pressure and flexion while in use.
