Once the handle is removed you will need to remove the chrome sleeve, just grab it and pull it straight out towards you. it does not need to be turned, but turning may help it come out. Again the back plate does not need to be removed. |
With the sleeve removed the nut will be exposed. this nut needs to be removed. be careful not to put too much pressure on the nut, if you are using channel locks you can squeeze too hard and end up pinching the nut causing it not to turn. hold the channel locks on the very end of the nut (closer to you) to avoid crushing the nut. The nut turns counter clockwise as you face it. |

With the nut removed, you can pull the old cartridge out. just grab it and pull straight out. if it is tight try using a small screwdriver between the cartridge and the brass body, being careful not to damage the brass body. |
Once you have it removed this far it should just come out. You may want to save some money be trying to repair the cartridge, but you will find that it is just a waste of time, get a new cartridge. |
