This is a 15 year old faucet that started leaking just last week. I found a new cartridge that fits but cannot see how to get it out. Got the handle and cap off without a problem. Looks like some sort of special tool is needed?

Got anything that looks like this?:

I'll be one of those hex sockets will fit in that 12-point recess so you can unscrew
the retainer.

THere MAY be one, but I have never heard of it. Usually, you just grasp the top of the ring, gently so you don't squeeze it, and the unscrew it.

kreemoweet's answer worked. Picked up a set of those sockets online this morning for 8.79 +tax. The 27/32" fit inside nice and snug. Disassembled, cleaned it up and reassembled in about 15 min. Total cost with the new cartridge and sockets = < $20.00. Thanks kreemoweet!

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
