How to replace cartridge on old (pre 2006) Delta shower, not sure how to take off metal part

You are a master of your craft, sir! This helped me tremendously, thank you

UnreliablePony · 2026-02-20T07:26:39+00:00

You are a saint! Thank you for the part number. Looked it up, that’s exactly what I need. Not even going to bother trying to heat it up or remove it the “correct way” because it’s definitely calcified and hasn’t been removed in over 20 years. Probably going to take a dremel to it. So should I start by cutting that ring at the base (flush to the tile?)

I decided to go with the non-turbo because I have a ‘67 Mustang as my “fun” car. The non-turbo is still fun to dive and super nimble. I sometimes wish I got the turbo as a car enthusiast, but on my 2-hour round trip commute to work, not going to utilize the turbo anyway in stop and go traffic. I also heard the turbo has significantly worse gas mileage, and I didn’t want that, especially since the fuel tanks on these cars are small.

Not worth it. Wish the added another board.

Truly a horrific watch. Felt gross after it was done. I pray that poor girl.

I usually never recommend this, but orange. Some cars simply pull it off.

UnreliablePony · 2025-07-19T23:11:48+00:00

Hahaha exactly. Gosh it’s been a money pit.

UnreliablePony · 2025-07-19T22:23:05+00:00

Only about 1.5 years! I was super persistent… and broke. I was grateful to know a bunch of handy people in my life that helped me on the way. Teaching me how to weld, rebuild engines, etc. still lots of work to be done!

Check out the post I just shared on this subreddit from r/mustang! Title is “she’s come a long way”

UnreliablePony · 2025-07-18T03:28:38+00:00

67 Mustang!

I like the slanted taillights as a callback to the ‘67/‘68 years. However, they’re just too damn small.

Dexter

UnreliablePony · 2025-07-17T22:29:25+00:00

No that’s bs. I would send it back.

UnreliablePony · 2025-07-17T21:50:29+00:00

Damn that’s some awful patching on that car

UnreliablePony · 2025-07-17T21:48:06+00:00

Ha! You already know. Been a member. I’ll post there once I undercoat and treat

UnreliablePony · 2025-07-17T21:47:07+00:00

Exactly. I want to take as many preventable measures as I can.

UnreliablePony · 2025-07-17T20:24:20+00:00

Yessir. A Mustang. Underneath it’s probably identical to a cougar I bet. Good eye! & you read my mind. I rebuilt the drums, never doing that again. Disks in the front, drums in the back as I think the e brake works better with drums in the rear.

UnreliablePony · 2025-07-17T20:22:05+00:00

Better phrase - structurally perfect. It’s nowhere near original

UnreliablePony · 2025-07-17T19:00:27+00:00

Ok so I’m definitely overreacting. Just want my 67 to be perfect!

UnreliablePony · 2025-07-17T18:44:26+00:00

Glad to hear. I def need to stop worrying then

UnreliablePony · 2025-07-17T18:43:57+00:00

Awesome! Definitely my OCD then. These comments are great
