Super helpful. After mourning the broken inner piece that was supposed to be removed easily, I stumbled across this video. Then, with hope restored, I began the demolition of the inner piece. A raging success. Plus, I now know more about the “olden days” of plumbing. We need more realistic plumbing influencers in this world. Five stars.
Hey man I suggest that you dont pull the cartridge out like that with a wrench. Instead take a flat head screw driver and pry it open from the sides while gently pulling the cartridge. Comes out easy. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much. First time ever trying to replace the cartridge and it broke. Took me hours to pry it out but I got it and my tub is no longer leaking. I am so happy!! thanks for this video!!!
OMGGGG You SAVED my life! I just did this and it worked. I can’t tell ya how much I was sweating when I couldn’t get the thing off and the water to my house is off!!!!
@@chachitheplumbinginvestor8115I work in a hotel building every unit uses this shower. I cannot even take out the bonnet easily. 150 pains in my butt.😅
Thanks so much for your video. I’ve done 2 of these now. Getting better at it. Onlrñy 1 of 3 of these cartridges has come out in 1 piece. The other 2 I had to chisel.
Damn I was prepared to just replace the springs. Guess I gotta break this cartridge out and replace it. Not what I planned to do but great video otherwise.
Hotel maintenance I have the luxury of 40 new valve body's if I can't pop it out in 5 minutes I'll cut and sweat in all new in 20 min with new cartridge greased up before I spend all day breaking it out learned the hard way
bruh... you mean youve broken more than one of these out? ive never pulled someone apprentice card before but... heres a tip. take the lock nut off and then go crack open the gate valve and the cartridge will pop right out from the pressure
This man is a genius and just saved me bout a hundred dollars, he speaks the truth. I pulled on that shit so hard I swear I was gonna fuck up my plumbing. The stuck is real. Was about ready to smash that shit out myself but this was a much better option.
Happened to me this morning I ended up bending the valve stem now I have a plumber coming tomorrow morning. I should have done what you did. I spend 2 hours trying to get the broken half out
I had to do that last night, it was hell, there must be a puller of some kind for this. I made my own puller out of scrap wood pieces and a screw, it was still hell though.
Thanks for making this, but I don't think it's simply turning the nut that warps it so much. I think it's the fact that it's a plastic assembly attached to a metal handle and people are way too rough with it. If you end up having to replace your cartridge too much and it gets stuck, try being gentler with the handle, especially not cranking it farther than it wants to go. If the water isn't hot enough, you have to adjust the cartridge, not warp it to bits.
So, on my Delta RP46074 cartridge with gray cap, I was able to pull out/separate the cartridge about 1/8 of an inch. I then rotated the gray cap counter clockwise and removed it, thus exposing the seats (spring and black cup washer) for the mixer. I simply changed the seats, reinstalled and what do you know....no drips. $8 vs $65 for a new cartridge. It's not rocket science.
When manufactured Delta will soon because the solder was not not strong enough on the assembly line replacing the cartridge caused a lot of leaks behind the Walls

I had the exact same issue! I was about to panic until I came across this video

tried that, didn;t work
I'm in the same situation as him right now. I spent an hour altogether prying and pulling and then it broke the same way his did.

Thank you for showing when it doesn’t come out smoothly. Took 45 minutes….but removal procedure is complete 🎉👍
Sick video buddy. Very realistic and well explained. You even add some humour. Well done! Helped a lot!
You are a young man, you have a long way to go. thank you.
You Sir, just saved a severe meltdown!!! Thank you.
Good job young man. You saved $600
Thank you so much. First time ever trying to replace the cartridge and it broke. Took me hours to pry it out but I got it and my tub is no longer leaking. I am so happy!! thanks for this video!!!
Thank you, after 14 videos this was the video that helped me take out the tight cartridge that was stucked on my bath
Watched a few other broken cartridge videos, this is definitely one of the best. Thanks man!
OMGGGG You SAVED my life! I just did this and it worked. I can’t tell ya how much I was sweating when I couldn’t get the thing off and the water to my house is off!!!!
It’s his personal bath and his personal ducky 😂😂
Many other videos show a smooth job to take this out. I have never seen anyone beat the cartridge out.
These delta cartridges are a pain in my butt and always seem to break. Very rarley does it come out smoothly

Thanks for video. You saved me from losing my mind when I broke mine trying to remove it.
Is it normal for them to have water in them? In the cartridge
Thanks so much! Although it took me 5 plus hours I was still able to do this myself!
Thats what i like to hear!! Enjoy a warm shower tonight for me!
Thank you for this! First piece broke and panic ensued 😅

It took all day but I did it! Yay me! And thank you so much!
Omg mine is doing just this!! I think I’m going to get the professionals to do this.
Hey bro....thank you !

I tried that on my shower, and it didn't pop out. Ended up doing the Demolition Man removal...
Full pressure and still nothing. This bitch was stuck like chuck. Had to demo mine too.
Beutiful job my guy! Just scratch all the nice trim parts

What a messy looking caulking job on the spout

Delta was sued in 2000 for defect manufacturing the soldering at the manufacturing to put that together was the fault

Why not put a screw in the cartridge and pry it out? A lot less messy and faster
if you drill too deep you run the risk of drilling into the actual shower body and opens up a whole can of worms
😂 wrong instructions 😮but you got it going😊
Delta got kicked in the ass for this one caused a lot of homeowners of floods
put a 2-3 inch screw through the plastic and use a hammer or pry bar, has saved me several times
I just spent about 2 1/2 hours doing the same thing and mine was stuck even more
SEARCH DELTA CARTRIDGE PULLER REMOVAL TOOL 😂
Most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.
Get a water softener
This comment helped me I went out and got CRL and it came out easy
😂😂 " proper precautions"? 😂😂
Not the way to do it smh
Wow! That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen!
This video is a negative on society.
