Thanks, jimbo, that was indeed the problem. The side rubbers were stuck. I knew there was a problem when twisting would go only a little each way, to the right and left. When I started pulling, it got stuck. It was like it was attached to something at the other end. To and fro, back and forth...

Need Urgent Help for Stem Cartridge Removal I am in the process of trying to remove my Moen stem cartridge for my shower. After fiddling with this thing for quite some time, I can now only get it to move out halfway and it won't fully come out. Any suggestions on why it wouldn't come out the...

Many thanks to you, Plumber Jim. I did just that and it works perfectly. I then tackled my original problem which is what caused me to shut off the valve in the first place and that was replacing the fill valve in the toilet due to a constantly running toilet getting progressively worse. All is...

My toilet has been leaking now for some time and I want to replace the insides which I think I can do no problem. I am a total novice. However, when I went to close the shut-off to the toilet, it did not shut off the water but rather started leaking at the valve. It seems to be okay when open...
