Oh...and f.y.i. I tried another plumbing project today. I was so excited to find a kitchen sprayer the other day, brand-new, still in the package at a yard sale. My previous one was black and the water just dribbled out rather than spray. The new one is white and matches everything else in my...

Thanks for the comment, but as I stated before, the job is done and I'll be darn if I'm puilling it all out to do again! I'm sure the repair will last as long as I need it to considering I don't plan on living here forever. My tool did get stuck, too, but I continually worked, and tugged...

Heck, why not? I'm an expert at this sort of thing now! Thanks again! Deana

I am doing the happy dance right now! I called the hardware store yesterday to inform them of the issues I had with the cartridge puller and the man told me I could bring it back for another one, but he wouldn't have it in the store until today. So I went to go get it after work, but ended up...

Thank you havasu and believe me, NO ONE will be happier than me to get this darn thing done! I appreciate your vote of confidence. I actually took that picture on my mouse pad. Guess it might be time for a new one of those, too, but all in due time. This plumbing issue must be resolved...

Well, being as persistent as I am, I was bound and determined to get this darn thing out and I wanted to replace the entire piece since I had purchased it new. I had tried the tap thread and bolt method that I saw on the internet (they make it look sooooo easy), but it did not work for me...

I was unable to pull out the old body and needless to say, ended up breaking the stem puller tool, too! Darn my luck! I tried removing the new stem from the assembly I bought, but I didn't have any luck getting it out, even using that new tool. Looks like I'll be calling a plumber afterall...

Hello and thank you both so much for your responses! I had to laugh...I just fixed my dryer a couple of weeks ago (installed a new thermistor) and I've been known to get under my car with a torch to replace the exhaust system. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do! LOL! I took the...

Oh my. After much cleaning with the white vinegar, I was finally able to pull this out. I hope I've done the right thing. It pulled out fairly easily. Did I miss any parts? I know this was probably best left to the professionals, but I'm a single Mom and I've just spent a fortune getting my...

Thank you. With a little researching, I have discovered that it is a brass retainer nut and I was able to pull that out. However, I am still unable to pull the valve stem out. Do you think it will come out easily once I let it soak in the white vinegar or is there another tool that I need to...

I am in desperate need of finding out how to remove the valve stem in my faucet. This is the bathtub faucet, single handle, and it will no longer shut the water off at all when you push the knob back in. I have everything taken off, but I am unable to remove the valve stem. There is no exposed...
