Moen Shower Faucet Removing Cartridge
Moen sent a replacement cartridge (1225 B), that includes a removal tool. I've removed everything that is supposed to come apart up to this point, including the retaining clip that holds the cartridge in. The instructions at this point look like this: The cartridge is completely circular, nothing keyed. It has O rings top and bottom to seal it. Re: Shower cartridge - Moen, can't get out. Put a nail through the hole in the stem and tie a loop of rope around it. Take a car scissors jack, pad the bottom with a washcloth and hold it against the wall. Slip the loop around the jack and crank the most stubborn cartridge right out. In this video, we’ll demonstrate how to remove and install the Moen 1222 Cartridge. It fits our Posi-Temp Tub & Shower faucets. Your situation may vary slightly, depending on the faucet model.

Once you get that, the owners manual should be pretty simple. Also, most of the valves are the same, it's just the window dressings (parts you can see ) that change.
Probably any cartridge style valve manual will do.Without having the tool and valve in front of me, I cannot offer specific recommendations.Oh, go get yourself a beer, and cool off. Things are much easier that way.:cool. Here's what instructions I recall for those.Unscrew the small hex screw from the closed end of the Moen cartridge puller until the threads on the end of the screw becomes visible.Place the opposite end of the puller over the cartridge. Ensure that the slots on the end of the puller align with the tabs or ears.Turn the small hex screw on the puller until the screw stops.Hand-tighten the large hex nut located in the middle of the puller, then pull the puller away from the cartridge to remove it. If the cartridge will not disengage, turn the large hex nut with a wrench one full turn, then pull the puller away from the cartridge again.

Things are much easier that way.:cool:I already got the part that I need. I kinda hacked at it first before going to buy the cartridge because I didn't know there was a special tool needed to remove the old one.
And the little thing that the handle sits on broke off, and now I can't get the old one out. Also, whoever put this one in, used lock tite on the screw to hold the handle in, and that stripped out when I tried taking it out. I had to physically drill the head of the screw off and get it off that way. I will go get a beer, or hang with my friend Mr.
Moen Shower Faucet Stuck Cartridge
Thanks for the info. When I bought the new one, there was this little plastic piece, that I didn't know what it was for. I looked at the removal instructions and it didn't say anything about it. I went back to home depot, and asked someone who worked there what it was for.
They had told me it was a removal tool? I was like OK, maybe thats why its not coming out. Got back home, tried that.nothing. So it's still in there.
The bathroom was remodeled about 15 years ago, but they never put in shut off valves to the shower. So I'm just going to get some shut off valves and install them where the water goes to the shower only. Turn the water back on, but turn the watter off to the shower.
You realize how much you rely on water, when you don't have any.
