I have an old Moen lift lever shower valve (circa 2005) that is dripping... so I talked to Moen and they said they would supply parts under warranty. Great! They sent me a new lever (94740) and two other parts (94746 and 96806) as well as 1225 valve. But I have two problems. My existing handle is not a pull out push in handle... it is a lift tip of handle to turn water on and rotate for hot/cold. These new parts they sent do not seem to be correct? The handle (94740) looks exactly the same, but the rest does not look like it works together... or may be some other part missing. But I can't find any parts diagram, instructions, video anywhere. Which leads to my second problem... I cant get the old handle off to see what's underneath...
And I would love to know if I am missing something so I can have all parts before I remove the handle and the shower is out of service. The old handle set screw was obviously rusted after 19 years and no way it was coming out... so I drilled it out with 5/32 bit and it seems like I went plenty far enough. Still won't budge. I tried to deluge with vinegar. No help. The piece underneath pivots with the handle lever, and therefore pulling straight out is only applying pressure on the top part of the pivot piece and not down by the set screw where it is probably rusted together. Any advice would be appreciated. And if anyone knows what parts are really under there or know of a parts diagram I would greatly appreciate it. I have been searching for hours and I do not find anything online or YouTube about any Moen lift lever shower valve. Thank you for your help!
