    Moen shower cartridge replacement
    I have removed the old cartridge and put the new one in. The problem I am now having is the locking ring will not go back in and I think it shouldn't be that tough to slip it back. What am I doing wrong?

    Hello Ramfyr, check your installation. It is possible that the cut-outs on the end of the stem are not aligned with the slots in the body. Also, make sure you pushed new stem ALL THE WAY in. Come back and let me know how you did. Milo

    You some times have trouble seating the cartridge because you are having to compress the air trapped inside when you inserted the cartridge. Open the stem to let the air out.
