This was most helpful. The details and pictures with the clear instructions helped me take the works apart and put them back together again with only a few prayers that were answered. I thought i was going to remove the cartridge but did not have the right tools. Sprayed WD40 as I twisted it back and forth. The whole reason behind this event was a very hard to pull out handle and stem. All working better now! Thank you so much for posting this RUclips help.
Thx for the detailed info on orienting the hole for hot water. The original plumber got the lines backwards and this allows me to compensate for his goof from years ago Have read the instructions and watched numerous RUclips videos on the installation and you are the only one to mention the purpose of the hole. Many thanks 🙏
Thank you so much for your detailed and simple explanations. And your voice is sympathetic, smooth and reassuring... inspiring an easy job! 🙂 Even it's not always the case... 🙂
You tube videos make it look so easy and simple. Mine hasn't been changed for probably 20 years. It's all corroded and the plastic shower knob cracked while removing it. Everything is apart. But, I'm reluctant to turn off the water in an attempt to pull it out. It's really corroded.
The one that was replaced in the video was 21 years old - it was a challenge initially breaking free the old unit but I used a towel and channel locks to get it.
I'm in the same position. The sleeve won't come out. I'm mechanically inclined, and I've done this before, but it's been years. I tried putting some PB blaster on it, and wiggle it free while holding the plate in the back to not wiggle the water line with it.
Replaced a Moen 1222 cartridge. Couldn't get the "U" shaped pin back in as the cartridge was slightly long. I ended up cleaning out the valve pipe with vinegar (in case of calcium deposits) and then it became a two person job while I tapped in from the top the other person used 2 screw drivers to aim the pin legs through the bottom opening. It was a real pain, but finally got it in. Works fine now. I wish Moen was more accurate on their manufacturing specs. I have heard many others had the same problem.
I had a challenge with the pin at first try as well and had to really work it to get the new unit to seat properly in position, but once it did, the pin was easy. Agreed though!

Thank you so much, I was able to do the job myself very easily. very helpful 😊
Thanks! Just replaced a 1225
Very helpful, thank you
You are awesome!! Thank you.
Thank you very much. You saved me.
At about 5:16 mark you put on a washer…what’s that for? Wasn’t one on the one I took out nor included in the replacement cartridge package.
what happens if there is a small leak on the left hot regulator ?
Do you really HAVE to take off the cover?
Why not soak the decorative cover,excution,and handle in vinegar before installing them back to the wall
Why do you have to take off the outer cover to replace the cartridge?
My little clip fell behind the wall do I really need it
Thanks
Tip**. U gotta push it hard to get the clip to go in,
Good job poop 💩
