I had a leaky Moen faucet (Moen 4600) so I removed the old cartridge and replaced it with a new brass replacement cartridge (model 1200.) Since replacing the cartridge I now have a leak from the valve stem, that leaks faster the more I open the valve. It appears to be coming from the outside collar of the cartridge.
Insert flat head screw in between? You should be able to remove the lever by inserting a slotted screwdriver between the lever and the round base and twisting the screwdriver a little. Work your way round the lever doing the same thing. The lever should break free.
If so, you should be able to screw the cap nut down, in which case the handle will re-engage the stops. You may have to jiggle the handle as you wind the nut down. Fix #2 - The next possibility is that the stops that are broken off. If this is the case, you may need a new piece in the faucet that incorporates the stops (if it is separate).
The peeling finish appears to be a metallic plating over a another metal or over plastic. You might be able to glue the lifted areas down using a cyanoacrylate type glue. You need to be very careful with these because they will glue your skin to a surface in a second or two. Such a repair would be iffy, and the handle may continue to peel in ...
Ugh! So this is an older model Moen 91111 two-handle faucet. The hot water tap had been dripping, so I swapped out the cartridges. Basic 1224 models with the little tab that fits into the notch in the collar...easy. Both collars and stems were pretty corroded from hard water. The cold went in easily but the hot was a bit of a problem.
Unable to remove faucet handles on widespread bathroom faucet. We have these faucets in a couple of bathrooms and a couple of the handles have started to squeak. I am not sure of the brand as they were developer installed. Might be Moen as a few of the other developer installed faucets in the house are Moen, but there is no visible branding.
Maybe Moen did this purposefully to make people need to replace the whole faucet head every time. Looking at this YouTube video, How to remove a Moen kitchen faucet aerator, an Allen key is used between 2 of the aerator slots. However, on my faucet, the aerator is more protruding, making it not possible to put an object between the 2 slots.
On my bathroom sink I disconnected the water supply lines to the faucet and stuck a 5/16 rod into the water supply holes until they contacted the backside of the cartridges. Then I gently tapped them out. Worked great. Much easier to push out than pull out. A basic law of physics from an aerospace engineer.
Sorted by: 1. A small flat screwdriver tapped between the alignment tab and the body of the stem will break the set on the o-ring and push it up slightly. Use a small hammer to tap. The tab is located on the side and is approximately 1/8" wide. I have been using this technique for 40 years. It works on Delta stems too.
2. Look underneath the sink where the supply hoses are. There should be a nut holding the faucet to the sink. Once removed the handle can be lifted from the surface. Share. Improve this answer. answered Feb 13, 2021 at 23:27. ojait.
