Re: [a/s] This Damn Moen Faucet



This from the WEB

Faucets
Moen Faucet Repair? Moen faucets have cartridges that can be replaced. There
is a clip (on top) that has to be pulled up and out before the cartridge can
be replaced. Often it seems stuck as if it will not come out. Some
replacement cartridges provide a plastic square to turn the cartridge in the
valve body 1/4 turn. This breaks it free from the valve grease that it is
stuck in. If, after replacing the unit ,the hot and cold are reversed,
re-install with the cartridge turned 180 degrees.

Good luck ... sounds like the "donut" is what the hi-tech guys are calling
O-rings....the clip should be metal about like a horse shoe shape... (C)
try a long nose pliers and the right words... usually comes right out...
