This method works like a champ. Great idea! I did put a block between the pipe and the back side of the tub enclosure wall to minimize the pressure being put on the pipe connections of the valve body. Thank you.
I completely agree. I checked that my valve was secured to the 2x4 between the studs with the metal strapping tightly before attempting this. I probably should have mentioned that in the video. Hopefully people use some common sense when DIYing things like this. This cartridge required pretty minimal prying force to be removed. But it's hard to capture that in a video while filming with one hand 😅

Absolutely genius worked like a charm over a tiled wall AAA+
Should using a wood block beween the housing and 2×4 for safer to operate this trick . Love your idea .
Worked like a charm. I used s 2x4 like you did but one of my tiles cracked. But it is covered by the escutcheon. So thank you for the video.
Genius! Worked like a charm!
I've done that back when the brass older cartridge can be a problem 😊
got to be careful if the valve isn’t supported
