I have Symons Callie SLW-7112-RP faucet and recently there is a water leakage on both hot and cold water. It is clear that the valve cartridges need to be replaced. I followed the instruction and replaced the cold water valve cartridge. But at the hot water side the cartridge seems stuck and can't be removed easily. I attached few images to show the situation.
Above is the cartridge without the handle ad cap.
Above is the instruction guide shows that the cartridge is screwed into the control valve and this is the stuck point, I can't remove it out from the control valve. I have used WD 40 and PB Blaster but no help so far (I might want to try more).
Above just shows that the instruction says how easy to remove the cartridge from the control valve base. I think I need some tool to hold the base. Currently when I turn the cartridge, the whole parts is truing.
The above picture is the valve under the counter, as you can image that when I turn the cartridge from the top (above the counter) the valve rotates as well. I am having trouble to hold it steady. I can use second person to help me. Any tool would help me to hold the valve under the counter? The space is extremely tight there : -(
Thanks a lot!
