How to remove moen handle cartridge from shower fauct?
Hello:
I've got a ten year old Moen Two Handle Tub & Shower Faucet. I've developed a leak, is there a way to remove the 1224 type stem from the faucet? I was able to remove most of the assembly and I can see the stem; but, it's recessed into the flange nipple. The flange nibble appears to directly connected to the plumbing. I don't believe there's anything fastening the stem in place and I should be able to just pull it straight out; but, it won't budge and I'm lost for words.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.:o

Yes, that's what I thought too; but, thanks for the info, finially got the darn thing out, I inserted a screw into the stem, grabbed it with plyers and wiggled and yanked, 10w 40 the thing, it finially came out. Looks like ten years later, buildup, the plastic stem somehow seized up in the plumbing. Never say anything like that before, took the day to get this bigger out.
Moen only warranties OEM/builder equipment for 5 yrs.
I thought that the cartridge puller only works with metal cartridges and not plastic ones?
Am I wrong?
Thanks
