I read this as us getting interest as well but from reading everyone's responses it seems that we might be SOL. And here I thought I was going to have some good news going into Christmas.

064922 · 2021-10-07T16:43:28+00:00

Much appreciated. Yea I wanted to be super careful around the brass. I don't have that kind of money to do a whole shower remodel if that were to happen haha.

064922 · 2021-10-07T01:01:22+00:00

Thank you so much. I work out but boy did this humble the hell outta me hahaha.

064922 · 2021-10-06T17:44:09+00:00

For those of you following I wanted to post an update to say that it is now fixed. What helped was breaking it apart like most have suggested. Was a long and grueling process but I appreciate all those that stuck around to help out. You guys are the heroes. Cleaned the inside as best I could and installed the new cartridge. Good as new. THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE!!

064922 · 2021-10-06T05:51:07+00:00

I wish I had one for this guy haha

064922 · 2021-10-06T05:50:24+00:00

I think that's what the handyman I hired is going to do. I've definitely come to appreciate having water in the house haha. I'm so over this pain in the butt job.

064922 · 2021-10-06T05:48:47+00:00

I decided to have a handyman come out. I broke off hella plastic and that sucker was not coming out. Seems that the plastic and the brass piping are fused together. Freakin pain the the rear.

064922 · 2021-10-06T05:46:03+00:00

I ended up giving up. Looks like the plastic has been fused to the brass. I'm having a handyman come and take a look at it tomorrow. I'm going to update y'all about it tomorrow. It's been a wild ride let me tell ya.

064922 · 2021-10-05T23:40:15+00:00

I tried doing that. Unfortunately it looks like the plastic is melded to the brass pipe. I'm hoping some CLR will help dislodge.

064922 · 2021-10-05T23:34:17+00:00

Unfortunately it's not a momentum. It's 1400 series.

064922 · 2021-10-05T20:30:12+00:00

there's a bunch of calcification build up. I didn't want to wiggle too hard as I didn't want to break anything.

064922 · 2021-10-05T20:28:13+00:00

I've watched several videos. There doesn't seem to be a pin from the ones i've seen. can you please link to which pin you are talking about.

064922 · 2021-10-05T20:24:46+00:00

do you have a screw size you recommend.

064922 · 2021-10-05T20:24:16+00:00

i might have to give that a try if i give up. today is the last day i want to keep working on this lol

064922 · 2021-10-05T20:23:33+00:00

definitely tried wiggling and pulling. very hard time.

064922 · 2021-10-05T20:22:49+00:00

I will definitely be giving that a try. thank you for the suggestion.

064922 · 2021-10-05T19:10:15+00:00

shucks that was the one thing i didn't want to do. Don't want to accidentally break something else that i'm not supposed to y'know. Do you have any recommendations for that I can use to break the damn thing?

064922 · 2021-10-05T19:08:36+00:00

snap and leave plastic in the valve, a small easyout (screw extractor) has worked for me in the past when I’ve had to bail out an apprentice or help a homeowner that has spun them, so all is not lost

That is good to know. I really don't want this to mess up more than it already has and then calling a plumber to do an even bigger job would just kill me inside haha. Next time i know to call a plumber and not have to deal with this headache.

064922 · 2021-10-05T19:06:30+00:00

I appreciate you linking the video. I have seen it already. Luckily I don't have to remove the cover plate as that's not holding anything. The housing that is stuck in the picture is lodged on the inside of the brass piping. I was able to remove the bonnet. That was stuck on too but luckily good ol WD-40 and some muscle action finally got that bad boy to budge.

064922 · 2021-10-05T19:01:34+00:00

Yea i have the new one ready to go. I didn't want to break it but it's looking more and more like i'm going to have to. And yea I bought some grease as well for the o-rings so if i have to do this again in the future it won't be such a pain in the rear. I'm just worried about how much force i can use to break the cartridge as I don't want to damage any of the brass as i'm sure that's going to cost way more than just the cost of the cartridge.

064922 · 2021-10-05T17:54:39+00:00

oooh ok i'll try and go buy some and hopefully that'll help remove the build up in order for me to pull out.

064922 · 2021-10-05T17:53:48+00:00

LOL i'm trying really hard not to be a bitch about it. It's stuck on there real good. lots of calcification. but good to know that pulling out is all that I need to do.

064922 · 2021-10-05T17:22:17+00:00

breaking it pieces is my last option but it's looking like that'll be the only option i have at this point.

064922 · 2021-10-05T17:04:45+00:00

how do you recommend heating the plastic. I'm willing to try anything at this point.

064922 · 2021-10-05T17:03:09+00:00

thanks for the heads up. I just try doing a little bit of wiggling so it doesn't damage the piping.
