Thanks, but what I want to know is how to remove the cartridge from the faucet so I can replace it with the new one. It would not come out, kind of stuck.

If the cartridge is a cylinder with a few o rings to keep it tight you may have to make a puller, mine is a screwdriver with the tip heated and bent over about 1/4 in.

If it's like the Moen units, a cylinder with the control shaft in the center, you can do the following. Pull the control rod out completely. Using a tap about the size of the hole, tap into the hole where the control rod formerly resided. Then remove the tap, put in a small dowel about 1" long into the hole. Now thread the tap until it hits the dowel. Keep turning the tap; the cartridge will thread out on the tap, removing it. It's worked every time for me, however, it was always a Moen.

Thanks for the prompt response. The cartridge is like the picture from the link below. I am afraid to break the plastic shaft and won't be able to pull the whole thing out. What should I do?

Hope you removed the retainer clip that all cart have some form of. I think?
