“Stick with brand name original manufacturing replacement for shower valves, don't skimp out on buying defective, off branded replacements. Removal tool a necessity for those old valves that are seized up. Don't over torque the removal tool, use small back and forth motions with some channel locks until stem releases and can be pulled straight out. This may be the last time you replace a shower valve stem, designed to last a lifetime!”
“I bought a cheaper off brand kit with a puller and the new cassette leaked worse than the original it was replacing. This Moen cassette works perfectly.”
“Didn't stop any of the dripping. I will be sending it back. After doing more research, I bought some silicone grease and applied it to the cartridge. This time the cartridge seated all the way in and seems to have eliminated the dripping so far”
“Lubricant leaked out of its packed inside packaging. I ain't taking any chances ordering the Lubricant today. These are very difficult Cartridges to remove. Installs tricky but near gut busting to remove an old one. I had to brace both feet on shower wall and pull even using the pulling device. But I finally had husband finish the pulling.”
