Shower handle screw stuck! Complete A-Z tutorial
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
If you've already tried WD40 and different size Allen keys and torx bits and you're a 100% positive the screw is stripped these are the necessary steps in order to remove the shower handle so that the cartridge can be replaced. This technique works on most shower handles even though the brands may vary. This one is a Kohler shower valve

Yes, thank you! You have the best video on this subject! I haven't found one yet that tells me as much as you do, thanks so much!

The next size up from 1/8 is 5/32.
Lifesaver. Thanks
Bro..thank you very much!!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Thank you! I have a Kohler memoir shower handle with a stripped screw. My plumber said I can’t use any other trim but the same “Kohler memoir,” and that I should buy a new memoir handle. Do you know if this is true? It uses a GP77759 rite temp valve. Basic question- can I switch out the memoir for another trim- thanks!
Can I use this brute force pulling technique if I have the screw (7/64" allen) drilled out using a 7/32" bit, but want to reuse the cartridge? Everything is working fine for me I just want to change out the trim kit.
Did you put the drill in reverse or forward to drill out the handle? Thanks
Awesome 👌
where did you get the chrome collar or sleeve that goes one before you attach the handle?
Hey so i drilled ALL the way through it, but its still stuck and i don't wanna pull too hard on it to bend the copper
If no MOEN or Kohler listed on the device... how do I know what parts to get!?
David...perfect channel for me... Thomas

No bs I have to get to the anti scolding screw on mine but will have to replace the handle and everything like this video. What are the chances I come across a live and a no bs channel I've been needing in the same night. I should get a prize. Lol
Are you drilling clockwise or counter-clockwise?
😂hi my name is David…I’m sitting here like “why yes it is”
Fancy little screw driver

Did you mean 5/32 drill bit? You said "7/32 which isn't right after the 1/8th". But I think you meant 5/32 because 1/8th is equal to 4/32.

@@Gee391I used a 5/32 but I ended up drilling out the threads on the handle so I had to replace them. Luckily the one I was replacing was only $40 for a pair The bathroom has two matching sinks, so I bought a matching replacement. Otherwise I would have went for a different brand. I have had other issues with delta faucets, so I would not recommend. My other faucet seems to be impossible to open, and delta has provided me with information that doesn't work. Tried all the tools, but it's designed in a way that I can't get a good hold on it, nor is it clear exactly how to take it apart. I considered buying two separate faucets so that I wouldn't have to deal with delta issues again.

I used my Gerber multi tool, Comes with an array of attachments. Super convenient
at :55 if you turn off the water you can turn the handle upwards and see what you are drilling
Great video, thank you ! I’m replacing a Moen 1225 cartridge. The problem I’m having is I cannot remove the stop tube. I understand that they just pull straight out, and I’ve tried using pliers to pull it out and tapping on it with a screwdriver handle to loosen it. It won’t budge. Any ideas?

@@AA_xo Yes, finally. I walked away from it and went back later in the day and sprayed WD-40 inside copiously. After that a couple yanks with the channel locks was able to get it off. I think it was a combination of having pulled on it earlier and the WD-40 together. Another suggestion I got from people at Moen after the fact (after it was already removed) was to use a mixture of white vinegar and water and spray it in there because they thought the culprit was probably lime, and the vinegar will take care of the lime. The key is knowing that it does just pull straight out, so you just need to get it loose without breaking your pipe. If it doesn’t come right off after spraying it, spray it and wait a few hours. Let the stuff do it’s job.

Do NOT "just use brute force." When you break a pipe, you will wish you were more careful. This Carhartt warrior got lucky.
Funny, I just had to put the handle screw back in mine… how does it wiggle out 🧐

Usually they corrode in place!
I cannot get this handle off. Gonna sledge hammer it and deal with the consequences
Didn’t help.
Please wear goggles when drilling!!
