oups.com... I have a leaky faucet and contacted Moen. They sent me a new
cartridge 1225. The problem is I can't remove the old cartridge. I
removed the pin but the old catridge won't come out. I tried to twist
with the plastic cap, but that didn't seem to do much. Does anyone
have any ideas how to get that old cartridge out?

By the way, its a single handle bath faucet.

I had one stuck like that last month. Put a vice grip on it and tapped it
with a hammer. Had wife push on wall to make sure I did not loosen any
tiles. Finally got it out. Don't think I had ever changed that one and
house is over 30 years old.

After a week of trying I came to the conclusion that I could not take
out the cartridge by myself. I bought a cartridge puller. Using
that, the cartridge slid out, easy as pie. The puller made all the
difference in the world.
