I am down to removing the cartridge and am not sure how to do so, this is a single handle shower
Is there a way of removing this cartridge without a special tool... If I need a special tool what is it and where do I locate one?

I'm not sure Chuck, I am just moving into this place and the tub faucet had a continual drip to it, and of course my landlord lives 4 hours away, and has no plans of coming back for another 3 weeks.
He told me it was a Moen, and it is a single handle, I have the handle and a few plastic parts taken out, but the cartridge is inside the pipe and I don't want to break anything.
Didn't know if there is a tool to use, or will plyers do.
Thanks Penny

Hello Hugz,
If you have removed the handle and the plastic parts the next thingyou need to remove the retainer clip and use a cartridge puller see the images, Thanks.
