    Open stem to let air and water out of the body of the valve, then push cartridge all the way in.

    Doesn't seem to do it still - think there must be some subtle differences between the 1200 (what is originally there) and the 1225 (the one Lowe's, etc. said is the replacement for the 1200) and/or the clips they gave me. Uggghhh.

    Push the cartridge straight into the valve, making sure that the ears of the cartridge are lined up precisely with the retaining clip notch.
