Hi,

I am trying to repair the leak bathtub faucet and want to replace the cartridge. I was able to remove the handle and temp control but the sleeve/stop tube is very tight and not able to pull out. I believe the retainer clip will be able to come out only if can pull out the sleeve. I tried to find the model no but I cannot find it anywhere engraved. so question is do I need to pull out the sleeve before I can pull out the cartridge ? as the sleeve is very tight how should I remove it. Please see the picture

Appreciate any help!!!

Thanks
Nimika

Moen Posi-Temp. All hardware stores carry the 1222 cartridge for that.
How do I take out the sleeve it is very tight. do I need to pull it with nose plier or something with force ? also for removing the cartridge will I need to buy Moen cartridge puller ?

You may need to remove the face plate first, pull the sleeve and then you will have access to the clip that holds the cartridge in.
The cartridge can by pullled if needed by using wood screws into the body of it if pulling on the stem doesn't work.
