    I am going to share a additional tip on the very hard to remove Cartridge issue , All Replacement Cartridges of this type from Moan Come with a special Tool in the package that many think is simply a protective cap on the top of the stem , this "tool" fits down into the top of your stuck cartridge enabling you to turn it , you then can use a wrench on the square head of the tool rotate the cartridge first breaking it free from all stiction of the rubber seals , than remove the tool and it will come out easily. If you end up with hot and cold selection reversed remove the handle holder held down by the Philips screw and rotate the inner valve stem a half a turn then reassemble , Example of the use of this tool .. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pX-lrNRwpa-znKg.html

    Thanks for taking the time to show us this repair. I found it very informative and well presented. My kitchern faucet is a little different than yours with a longer handle. What I was afraid of was not knowing what size cartridge to put in. I thought I would have to turn off the water, pull out the cartridge, go to the hardware store to find a replacement. But with your video I just looked for a 1225 cartridge before starting the job. The clerk told me that Moen faucets are all under a lifetime warranty. I told him I no longer had the receipt. He says no problem and goes to a sepsrate cabinet and pulls out a cartridge. He said it was free of charge. Doing the repair was a breeze knowing what to look for and how to do it. So Many thanks. You will have good karma !!

    I replaced the cartridge last weekend and it was a bear to remove, a pry bar pulling upward on needle nose pliers through the hole in the brass stem and a stack of wood blocks on the sink. One rubber square seal was ripped up once removed, I did clean the bore of the faucet with a slotted wood dowel with sand paper to polish it inside for a fresh finish for the new cartridge, and some faucet lube works great and does not leak now! Moen 1225 from Menards. Great video.

    At 7:37, you can clearly see the white deposits at the joints where it was leaking. Mine leaks at one joint under the handle, but above the faucet.With other videos, they mentioned the leak where yours is, but they continued below after removing the cartridge, to remove 2 large washers. The free Moen cartridge kits, with o rings come with Allen wrench, but also with the variety of o rings, and a proper lubricant that will not damage the rubber ring. I did not see you show those rings. But....it worked perfectly. Great video.

Just an aside, at Home Depot, they have a wonderful little gadget that is designed to remove the cartridge with ease. It is by Danco, it is for brass, plastic, and post-temp cartridges, cost is about $16, and it made pulling out my cartridge as easy as uncorking a bottle of wine. I struggled before getting this, trying to pull the cartridge out! Thank you for sharing!

    Ok, just finished this. It's true about using the special tool do help get it out. I didn't have it so I too stood on top of the sink to get it out. When I bought the new stem, the special tool came with it. It's just a plastic small piece. Fyi on this reinstall, I thought I didn't seat the stem correctly after I finished because only a little water was coming out. I took it all back out and tried again along with a few cuss words. I put it back together , same deal. I got pissed and started to turn it off and on like a mad man and then it started to flow like normal. In other words, after your install, turn the water off and on a bunch. What's happening is the o rings are finding there home, so to speak. I washed my hands, told the wife I fixed it (sex later) and now i will have a beer. Adios.

    So I finally got this done after about 2.5 hours. Things to be wary of. The orientation of the cartridge is critical to get the clip back in. And older faucet will be difficult to get old parts off. I needed to heat the handle for a minute and use a piece of wood to lever the handle off with full strength.

    Great video! Just make sure you watch the orientation of the initial cartridge and white piece before replacing them. And take it slow putting the allen bolt back in handle. I rushed it the first time and messed the orientation of the handle. You have to hold the handle at an exact, correct orientation to get allen bolt back in properly. Also I used a t-shaped handle to remove the cartridge. I didn't read the instructions at first (hey, I'm a guy) and tried to turn the T handle like a wine bottle opener. Instead, you are supposed just use the t-handle to pull straight up. But by turning it, I was able to loosen the cartridge so it easily pulled up with a pliers.

    Dont leave the house for 24 hours and if you do, turn the water ( hot and cold ) at that location or on the main . This advice is good after any plumbing project. I have a friend who installed a new tap and it had a defect and he payed for it LARGE.

    Don’t know where you are but in Ontario, Home Depot gives you the Moen cartridge free. Just ask for it…don’t take it off the peg @ $41.00. I just got one this morning with the help of a nice service agent who told me about the free replacement. My tap is 26 years old…looks just like yours. About to fix the drip which is why I was watching you do it.

Ya 15min my butt, removal was easy with exception of yanking out the cartridge you weren't kidding standing on the counter. Then ride to ACE to make sure i had the right cartridge. Instalation error nothing went back or lined up the same, after multiple try and replaying your installation I got it. On your next video or remake of this one have someone else video while your working and I would also spend some time on how its self explanatory the way things should line up because it wasn't 3 out of 5 stars for your video

    I know, it took me complaining to homedepot guy about the price of the cartridges whence he told me if it's Moen, call them get one for free. Today my kitchen faucet similar to this one here isn't letting water thru although the pressure is right - I called and they are sending me the cartridge and associated kit for the repair. :) At least $50 bucks saved. Moen is expensive but life time warranty really pays for itself especially if one takes care of their faucets. Oh, and thank you for the video. Love people who share

    So after an hour of struggling and two of us trying to pull the handle off, I finally got a hair dryer, WD40 and a three foot piece of wood to lever, with a twisting motion, and pop the handle off with as much strength as I could give it. It went flying three feet in the air finally. What the video shows will work if it's a fairly new faucet. But a 14 year old one, even one I had apart 5 years ago, will get calcification build up under it and it's about as strong as epoxy.

    By and large this is informative. I got as far as trying to lift out the existing cartridge. When I pulled, the entire sink and fixtures lifted some. I was unwilling to keep going. I put the existing faucet back together. I suppose that i could have stood on the sink (as the narration in this video says), but I was unwilling to. I seem to recall that there is a tool that may pull out the cartridge, and so I will check out a home store

    This video always comes in handy for me when I need to replace the cartridge (as I always forget how to do it). Our faucet is a Kohler but the Home Depot near us only seems to stock the "plastic cartridge for Moen- Lead Free" by Partsmaster Pro. It fits our faucet just fine. It's the part #58372. I don't know if Kohler is owned by Moen or if these are somewhat universal.

    Great video. Out of curiosity, is there anything else we can do besides replacing the whole cartridge? I read somewhere (houzz or #HealthyKitchen101, I don’t remember exactly) that we can replace the washer or the O-ring(s) to fix the valve. Can we do the same here?

    Frank A. Rhyne hello Frank. I would say replacing an o-ring is a possibility to fix the issue, but if it doesn’t you’ll have to change the cartridge all the same. If the cartridge was in excess of $20, I’d say try the o-ring. But because it’s a $15 or cheaper part, just hedge and replace the whole thing. A lot of people report that Moen will replace the cartridge for free, so it might be worth a call to Moen customer service. Best of luck!
