Thank you for the video. This gave me the confidence to dig out the remaining portion of my Delta cartridge. Just gotta be mindful but firm, and have patience.
A trick I used, once I exposed the metal tube, I pulled off one of the rubber rings. I then put a zip tie around the metal tube in the empty channel the ring was in. Pulling on the zip tie freed the cartridge.
Super helpful. After mourning the broken inner piece that was supposed to be removed easily, I stumbled across this video. Then, with hope restored, I began the demolition of the inner piece. A raging success. Plus, I now know more about the “olden days” of plumbing. We need more realistic plumbing influencers in this world. Five stars.
Hey man I suggest that you dont pull the cartridge out like that with a wrench. Instead take a flat head screw driver and pry it open from the sides while gently pulling the cartridge. Comes out easy. Keep up the great work!
OMGGGG You SAVED my life! I just did this and it worked. I can’t tell ya how much I was sweating when I couldn’t get the thing off and the water to my house is off!!!!
Almost started to chisel mine out but it just didn’t seem like a great idea. I sprayed WD 40 behind the cartridge a lot, then grabbed the cartridge and pulled with slight twisting motion until I heard the seal break. Then it came right on out. Just like a jar of pickles, if there’s a seal ( which is supposed to be) it’ll be hard to come out. Move it around until the seal is broken and it pulls right on out.
Thank you so much. First time ever trying to replace the cartridge and it broke. Took me hours to pry it out but I got it and my tub is no longer leaking. I am so happy!! thanks for this video!!!
Thanks so much for your video. I’ve done 2 of these now. Getting better at it. Onlrñy 1 of 3 of these cartridges has come out in 1 piece. The other 2 I had to chisel.

Hotel maintenance I have the luxury of 40 new valve body's if I can't pop it out in 5 minutes I'll cut and sweat in all new in 20 min with new cartridge greased up before I spend all day breaking it out learned the hard way
bruh... you mean youve broken more than one of these out? ive never pulled someone apprentice card before but... heres a tip. take the lock nut off and then go crack open the gate valve and the cartridge will pop right out from the pressure
This man is a genius and just saved me bout a hundred dollars, he speaks the truth. I pulled on that shit so hard I swear I was gonna fuck up my plumbing. The stuck is real. Was about ready to smash that shit out myself but this was a much better option.
Damn I was prepared to just replace the springs. Guess I gotta break this cartridge out and replace it. Not what I planned to do but great video otherwise.
I had to do that last night, it was hell, there must be a puller of some kind for this. I made my own puller out of scrap wood pieces and a screw, it was still hell though.
Happened to me this morning I ended up bending the valve stem now I have a plumber coming tomorrow morning. I should have done what you did. I spend 2 hours trying to get the broken half out
When manufactured Delta will soon because the solder was not not strong enough on the assembly line replacing the cartridge caused a lot of leaks behind the Walls
Thanks for making this, but I don't think it's simply turning the nut that warps it so much. I think it's the fact that it's a plastic assembly attached to a metal handle and people are way too rough with it. If you end up having to replace your cartridge too much and it gets stuck, try being gentler with the handle, especially not cranking it farther than it wants to go. If the water isn't hot enough, you have to adjust the cartridge, not warp it to bits.
So, on my Delta RP46074 cartridge with gray cap, I was able to pull out/separate the cartridge about 1/8 of an inch. I then rotated the gray cap counter clockwise and removed it, thus exposing the seats (spring and black cup washer) for the mixer. I simply changed the seats, reinstalled and what do you know....no drips. $8 vs $65 for a new cartridge. It's not rocket science.

I had the exact same issue! I was about to panic until I came across this video
classic barret. Thank you so much for your possitive comment it means a lot, ill pay it forward
Also, thank you. Thank you for that tip about putting the ring back on.So that I did not deform the opening

tried that, didn;t work
I'm in the same situation as him right now. I spent an hour altogether prying and pulling and then it broke the same way his did.

Thanks for the tip! It worked perfectly for me. A chunk did fly off, but I was able to loosen and move it up enough to easily pull it off.
Mine broke when I was patient with the screwdriver method.
Thank you for showing when it doesn’t come out smoothly. Took 45 minutes….but removal procedure is complete 🎉👍
You Sir, just saved a severe meltdown!!! Thank you.
Thanks for video. You saved me from losing my mind when I broke mine trying to remove it.

You are a young man, you have a long way to go. thank you.
Thank you, after 14 videos this was the video that helped me take out the tight cartridge that was stucked on my bath

I had to chisel and use wd40 lol
Good job young man. You saved $600
Thank you so much. First time ever trying to replace the cartridge and it broke. Took me hours to pry it out but I got it and my tub is no longer leaking. I am so happy!! thanks for this video!!!
Watched a few other broken cartridge videos, this is definitely one of the best. Thanks man!

Many other videos show a smooth job to take this out. I have never seen anyone beat the cartridge out.
These delta cartridges are a pain in my butt and always seem to break. Very rarley does it come out smoothly

Thank you for this! First piece broke and panic ensued 😅
Great video. I thoroughly enjoyed this😂😂😂😂😂 Subscribed🤙🏾💙👍🏾👍🏾
Omg mine is doing just this!! I think I’m going to get the professionals to do this.
It’s his personal bath and his personal ducky 😂😂
Thanks so much! Although it took me 5 plus hours I was still able to do this myself!
Thats what i like to hear!! Enjoy a warm shower tonight for me!

I tried that on my shower, and it didn't pop out. Ended up doing the Demolition Man removal...
Full pressure and still nothing. This bitch was stuck like chuck. Had to demo mine too.
Damn I was prepared to just replace the springs. Guess I gotta break this cartridge out and replace it. Not what I planned to do but great video otherwise.
It took all day but I did it! Yay me! And thank you so much!
Hey bro....thank you !
put a 2-3 inch screw through the plastic and use a hammer or pry bar, has saved me several times
Beutiful job my guy! Just scratch all the nice trim parts
Delta was sued in 2000 for defect manufacturing the soldering at the manufacturing to put that together was the fault
I had to do that last night, it was hell, there must be a puller of some kind for this. I made my own puller out of scrap wood pieces and a screw, it was still hell though.

What a messy looking caulking job on the spout
Is it normal for them to have water in them? In the cartridge

😂 wrong instructions 😮but you got it going😊
Delta got kicked in the ass for this one caused a lot of homeowners of floods
Why not put a screw in the cartridge and pry it out? A lot less messy and faster
if you drill too deep you run the risk of drilling into the actual shower body and opens up a whole can of worms
Most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.
I just spent about 2 1/2 hours doing the same thing and mine was stuck even more

How's yours holding up? I thought to do that when my back half was stuck, but ended up fishing it out since it looked rough
SEARCH DELTA CARTRIDGE PULLER REMOVAL TOOL 😂
Get a water softener
This comment helped me I went out and got CRL and it came out easy
😂😂 " proper precautions"? 😂😂
Not the way to do it smh
Wow! That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen!
This video is a negative on society.
