    Fantastic video and I bought both the tool (Danco core puller) and cartridge at Lowes the tool was $16 and the replacement was $58, and only took a few turns to push out. No need to buy the grease, it comes with a small packet in the kit. To take the tool off, losen the bolt first and the the top screw will come off the tool for reuse. I am now my neighbors expert plumber for these units. Since most of the homes in my area are only about 7 years old and others have been having the same problem and I easily saved $200 to $300 by not calling a plumber. I am a youtube engineer and proud of it, from plumbing, electrical, gardening, putting my back in place and keeping my 3 vehicles running. Thank You. ( Just remember to read the numbers on the top of the cartridge to find the correct one at the hardware store and remember to turn off water and release the pressure on the shower valve first and be ready to put a towel under the pipe, because you will still get some water popping out and you don't want this to run down the back of the wall. Plus, plug the drain, so no screws fall down, also use the plastic part to push in the new cartirdge)

    Mine was removed from a calcified 20 yr install. The Danco tool worked for me after watching this video showing how to properly use it. I also sprayed some loosener and just slowly got it out. When I went to install the new one, I cleaned the valve tube, but the calcium had built up so much that I couldn't insert it. Since there was no turning back, I sat patiently with CLR and a small steel brush and worked out the gunk. Once the new cartridge would slide in without excessive force, I got the clip back in and wrapped it up.
    Thank you for this great video👍

    @racheljess1735 Год назад +11

    Great video !!
    I bought the Moen cartridge remover on Amazon for about 60$ including tax
    The key is to keep slowly turning the nut which causes the cartridge to be pulled out.
    The key is to do it slowly to avoid any undue force that may cause any part of the cartridge to crack/break.
    If you are succeeding then you will know because when the cartridge is coming out you can see the top plastic part of the cartridge move away from the metal of the valve body(as seen more clearly when Big Al moves the nut back to reveal the cartridge has come out).
    Extra note to those out there that are newbies like me and this is the first time:
    Once the cartridge is coming out and you cannot turn the nut more (for me this happened at about half as far as it did for Big Al) then carefully hold the handle and with constant gentle pressure turn the handle left-right over and over slowly pulling at the same time to coax the cartridge out.
    If it is a newish cartridge and the previous installer put grease on it than this will be easier.
    If it is an extremely old cartridge made of metal then this may be more difficult.
    In my case, the original plumber didn't secure the valve tight enough to a wooden structure so the whole thing was moving in and out when I applied pressure, so I used a wrench applied to the metal valve body that sticks out of the wall and another set of hands to hold the wrench to stop the valve body from moving back and forth, both when I removed the cartridge and when I inserted it.
    Don't forget that once the new cartridge is inserted with the HC (hot cold indicating hot on left and cold on right) in the top position, to use pliers to turn the protruding gold metal post 180 to the right to close the water, so that when you turn on the water supply it does not come gushing out.
    The other problem I ran into was that one of the holes that the faceplate is to screw into on the valve body was blocked by my fiberglass shower cause the hole in the fiberglass was not made large enough by the original installer. I had to chip away carefully to remove the fiberglass so that when I affix the plate cover, I could get the screw in straight so it connects with the screw hole on the valve body to secure the face plate.
    Take a good look at the valve body with a flashlight before you attempt to install the faceplate. When the faceplate is put on straight, you will notice that the two holes to attach it are located on the top right and one on the bottom left. (diagonal to each other, weird !)
    You should see the same orientation of screw holes in your valve body in the wall.
    It was not easy to make the screws go into the holes in the valve body to screw the faceplate in because you can't see anything at this point cause the faceplate is blocking your view. That's why should should take a good look at the wholes in the valve body to help you orient the screws once the faceplate is placed .
    So you have to go by feel.
    Put the screw in as straight as possible then hold with your fingers and move it around until you feel it lands onto something solid then turn to screw it in a bit with your fingers and if it is in the hole in the valve body it will start feeling secure so you know its in and you can continue screwing it in now with a screw driver (Philips).
    Make sure to screw one screw a bit at a time and alternate between the two screws.
    You never want to screw one screw in all the way, both have to go in a bit at a time.
    Since my valve body was not well secured in the wall to a wooden structure, screwing the face plate in brought the valve body closer and closer to the wall of my fiberglass shower and this helped to make that valve body stable.
    If you have any worries about water leakage then turn your water on before putting the faceplate on, and after the cartridge is installed with the pin. (Please note the cartridge is well seated in the valve body when the plastic with the HC inscription is right up against the metal of the valve body.) Then you can look into the hole in the wall and observe if any water is leaking in the wall with the water on. There is a small chance that if a joint in the copper pipes was not soldered properly, originally, and you were rough with your install and made all the pipes clang back and forth during the install, a joint may crack and leak.
    So always check for water leakage in the wall by turning on the water supply and turning the cartridge post using pliers before adding the faceplate.
    It is recommended to add a thin bead of clear caulking around the faceplate at the point where it meets the wall to avoid water or humidity from entering into the wall.
    Hopes this helps the newbies like me !
    Thanks Derek for this video you saved me hundreds of dollars. 💞

    You saved my life!! Or at least a couple of hairs on my head. Both your install and how to remove a stuck cartridge. Home Depot only had the Danco, but it worked. At first I thought it wasn't because my daughter didn't tell me she was having issues and ground those black rubber ovals down to shreds. So, when I was trying to get unstuck, it sounded and felt awful when tightening. But I watched your video again and just gave it a few more twists and it started to some out. Only thing I didn't see in yours or other videos was the pin. I was assuming it went around the cartridge but after rewatching, I was able to see some movement of the pin in front of the cartridge. But love how you explain step by step with some extra details, but no fluff. I went with the Moen in instead of the ACE or the Danco; works so smoothly. Thanks a bunch!!! I'm gonna start listening to more of your videos to see how else you can make my life easier!!!

Even shipping was a day faster than Brandon assumed. Awesome product and great service. I spent 2 days trying free a stuck cartridge.

    Guys and Girls! I just fixed a 20 year old pipe with the first option. You have to use a rust remover (not wD40) the cheaper “specialized for rust) worked perfect.
    I sprayed the surrounding pipe. Used the puller wiggled it left to right while pulling (not too hard) took out the puller, added more rust remover, and repeated the process until it loosened up.
    It takes patience, will save you time from having to break the pipe.

    My parents had been using a wrench to just turn their cartridge stem for years after their handle broke. So the stem itself was smashed and unable to thread a remover into it. After applying heat using a hair dryer for 15 minutes (and an additional 10 minutes when it still wouldn't budge), the cartridge basically slid right out. I wish the puller could've worked for their cartridge, but I wanted to mention the heat in case it helps anyone else.

    Very good. I think the basic puller (Danco for about $20) causes more problems than it solves as I've seen a few folks break their cartridges with this puller. The ONA seems like a great idea but it a bit pricey considering you'll likely only use it a few times in your life and then lose it ;-). For pros it would be great. I decided to just call a plumber when I had mine badly stuck... just didn't want to cause a bigger problem and even more expense. Great video! Thanks.

    Thank you for this, wish I would've seen it before hand. I used the Danco puller, it's all the store had. Actually tried to read the directions too, but they sucked. And on my faucets, double bath tub faucet, I didn't have a copper pipe sticking out like that, mine was just the plastic piece of the cartridge. So you helped with one, I started using the nut on it to pull it out, and it helped loosen it. The other side, I messed up the plastic and it took me a good hour of just wiggle/pull/wiggle/pull with every tool I had handy. Now, I'm having a hard time getting the new ones in fully. Just a slight gap, they won't budge any further. And putting the handles on...OMG lol. I'm so disgusted, I'm not even going to bother turning the water back on, I'm just going to bed and deal with it tomorrow.

      @@Hindsight101 Oh thank you so much for answering :) Well, no idea what the model is for the faucet, it looks like the Moen Adler Two Handle Bathtub Faucet, the cartridge part was I think 1244.
      So, after my little fit there, I got up next morning, all refreshed. Took it apart, and I guess putting it back together and screwing the handles back on was enough to make both cartridges go in all the way! I'm guessing it's something to do with the handle screw, but all that plastic, just kept making me nervous constantly screwing in/out.
      And, the handles are totally out of whack. Instead of turning on from outside to inside, one goes up and down, and the other is at an out to in angle. And I don't care one bit, because they turn off and on, and do not drip when off :)
      Oh, and I found this link if it helps you at some point or someone else; last picture has all the parts in order. The adapter that's circled, goes into the wall tube in front of it (my tube's brass) apparently there's an o-ring on the adapter, but it was stuck in the tube. I think that's why I was having a hard time with the handles, they just seemed loose and wiggly. Anyway, thank you again!!

    My 1222 B came out and left the plastic sleeve in the pipe. I thought the ona puller would pull the sleeve out using the 2nd function you talked about. It was not big enough to grab the plastic sleeve on the 1222; it is sized to work on the other Moen cartridge (1220 I think).

    Used the first tool on a VERY stuck cartridge, and it was a hassle. One thing that worked for me was that once the big nut on the removal tool was no longer useful, I took the remover tool out and used vice pliers on the cartridge white plastic body. After a lot of wiggle and pull, it came out. Parts of the rubber of the old cartridge were stuck inside, so I need to clean up a bit (nose pliers, paper towel, etc).
    This video shows how things works, very useful for first timers, thanks!

    My stem broke of as I was trying to twist it out. I ended up drilling it out with a 3/8” drill bit, first all the metal components in the middle, then the plastic casing walls. It was a laborious process and took a couple of hours. Of course it was a weekend, and the water had to be shut off, and I worried that I’d actually damage the Moan valve, which would be beyond my expertise to replace, plus I’d probably have to cut into the wall to replace it, either from the outside of the house or remove shower tile. Luckily with a lot of patience and persistence I got it all out.

    So the easiest cheapest way for me after snapping the brass shaft, was drilling a hole ~.25" deep. Then I put a construction screw, similar to a decking screw, getting it as straight as possible. I put the torx/star bit in my dril, not my impact, select high speed and turned the screw/brass full speed until I saw smoke 🤔 or steam and continue 20-30sec after that point. You should hear it sizzling, then grab the screw if secure enough or the cartridge if you have narrow grippie pliers and it slides out with ease. I was surprised because it was a plastic cartridge, but this did the trick. Next time I get a stuck one I'll cross thread a screw into the shaft(instead of snapping it pulling&prying) and spin-cook it until it's well-done.

    Seemed a little more professional video than others have done.
    Sometimes you have to use a tap to remove the outer casing from valve body when the inner valve pulls out and the outer shell casing is stuck. Many people have had this problem happening. A soldiering wire brush can help remove deposits from valve body but shouldn't be overly done not to make valve body to large to seal new cartridge. Plumber's grease should be used for new cartridge!!!

    The issue that I am running into is that the two puller teeth will not go around the white piece on the cartridge when I am using an off-brand Moen puller. No matter what I do, I cannot get the teeth to grab ahold of the white piece - it is almost like the teeth are not wide enough to wrap around the white piece on the cartridge. For what it's worth, the off-brand puller I am using is Ace Hardware branded. Since I cannot get the teeth to hold onto the white piece, the whole operation fails as there is no nothing for the nut to secure onto when I am tightening down the nut - in essence, the nut spins in place as it is not gripping anything. I finally had to use a vice grip and just kept pulling the cartridge until it came out, but I felt like I was going to break either the actual pipe in the wall or something else.
