1. Buy new cartridge and replace - you can call the manufacturer and get it for Free - Life time warranty
2. or buy rubber washer for less than $10 and replace it.
In this video I am replacing Delta cartridge.

Thanks Raj. I was able to fix my leaky bathtub faucet because of this video. I just replaced the washers. I would've quit if it wasn't for your great tips. WD-40 took a few applications before it started moving. Putting the handle back on to pull out the cartridge was genius.

Hey Raj, you help me, i watched your video for 5 times.. I fixed it by my self and this in my first job doing the faucet.. thank you so much you save my money
Raj, your tip for putting the handle back on to help pull the cartridge out was a life saver! Other videos made it look like it comes out easily, which was not the case with mine.

I am horrible with handling tools, just always been bad at it, but tomorrow I will buy the allen tool, wd40, a flat head and the thing you used to remove the washer/ring. I'm so excited now.

@@learnfromraj Raj, just to update you and others. Over 4-5 days, I sprayed the area with vinegar, and each day the handle loosened. Today I was able to remove it. I am sure if someone added vinegar a few times a day it would work faster. Now the ring is stuck, so I am taking your advise and using WD40. Hopefully by tomorrow it will come off so I can replace the cartridge.

I watched about 10 of these and would rate 9 of them a 5. Raj on the other hand is a 10! He gives you two tips. One you can get a free cartridge from Delta. It was easy once I got the email right. Shipped free too. Two, there is a white plastic hub that is the temperature setting device. Watch Part #3 of this series to see exactly how to set. Trust me, pull out on hub and turn counter clockwise toward HOT as far as it will go. Now you and the handle have complete control of water temperature. If you don’t do this you will find yourself taking off handle and putting it back multiple times.

Hi Raj! This was very detailed and helpful. Many videos fail to give such details as to the potential of trouble or resistance you might get with certain steps of a repair which leaves us as viewers in need of the information stick when we put it into practice but it doesn’t happen as easily as when in the video. So again I appreciate your attention to detail and desire to provide us with the best information to be successful in our repair! Willie

Very useful! I took mine apart with your help, looked over all the gaskets (I'm a contractor but NOT a plumber) and all the gaskets looked good. Its pretty new too (less than two years old). But there was a lot of mineral build up that may have formed near/around where gasket actually inserts and created a small opening so I cleaned everything out/up and I think that did it.

Getting the cartridge out was not easy at all, and I couldn’t use your handle trick because it turns out the nail was really rusty. (I haven’t unscrewed the handle in 10 years). Had to use the wd-40 about 5 times. But eventually I got the cartridge out. Thanks again for all the tips and help
