The rubbers get stuck to the brass, also they will get caught and stuck in the hot and cold ports when pulling them, also most of the time people don't pull them out when soldering which makes the plastic soft and stick to the brass. Best bet pull grease all surfaces when installing. More on reddit.com

r/Plumbing on Reddit: Moen cartridge pullers
June 12, 2023 -
So last night the posi temp 1222 went in our master shower, and I did battle once again. I completely destroyed my Danco puller in the process. The Danco didn't seat fully on the valve (the stem bottomed out in the puller), and I got to twisting too hard and the little "ears" on the puller got all munged up before I noticed. Usually the plastic on the cartridge goes first. Anyway, with the ears bent and frustration mounting, I went full 500 lb gorilla with the channel locks and unga'd my way through.
Got the cartridge out, but my puller is toast, and I don't want to buy the same garbage to replace it. I frequently had issues with the Danco. The space for the stem in the central threaded cylinder isn't deep enough, so you can't get full "bite" on the cartridge. Also, the posi temp valves have little "ears" on them that interfere with the outer puller nut. They'll shear off, but man do they jam themselves up in there.
So what's the "premium" tool for this job? Is there one? I'd love one that works for both 1222 and 1225 cartridges, but would buy two if they worked better.

Check out the Lakeview cartridge puller. Haven't used a regular one in a real long time and works beautifully. The ones it busts apart I just replace the whole assembly but that's not often anymore. https://lakeviewpuller.com/home/

Expert Tips for Moen Cartridge Removal: 1200, 1225, and 1222 Cartridges
July 29, 2023 - To remove the Moen 1222 cartridge, first turn off water supply. Use a cartridge puller carefully; if it bottoms out, try gently rocking the cartridge side to side to loosen mineral buildup. Applying penetrating oil can help break corrosion.

r/Plumbing on Reddit: Moen 1222 Cartridge Replacement
February 27, 2023 -
I have this moen single handle shower valve in all my bathrooms so I've had to replace one of these 1222 cartridges before which was a nightmare for me. It took me all day trying to pry that thing out using Moen's cartridge removal tool. So this time when I had to do another one, I decided to buy the Flowrite ONA cartridge puller so it would be easier. Long story short, it was fine I got the cartridge out quickly, but the back end broke as you can see in the photo and I had to dig that plastic piece out of the valve. I oriented the cartridge as recommended by pointing the notched end upwards before removing, not sure it makes a difference? Is there something I'm doing wrong? Not sure why these always give me trouble, I couldn't imagine being able to pull one of these out without a removal tool of some sort.

They’re just a pain in general, not the worst but they do get stuck sometimes. If I have my choice I install Delta valves.

Apply penetrating lubricant around the cartridge base, then gently rock it side to side while pulling straight out. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage. Use a proper cartridge puller tool for even pressure.

r/Plumbing on Reddit: Can’t remove Moen shower cartridge, what am I missing?
March 2, 2024 -
I turned the water off (!), removed the handle, sheath, etc. I managed to get the cartridge clip (?) out from the top.
I’m now trying to pull the cartridge straight out, but I can’t get it to budge.
The whole system of pipes is moving, and I feel like I’m going to create a catastrophic problem if I keep pulling.
Am I missing something that needs to be done first? Am I just weak? 🥺
Thanks in advance!

UPDATE 2 SUCCESS!!! Followed the directions on the cartridge puller, and it came out with just a little effort. What a relief! The new cartridge is now installed and everything is re-assembled. Water is turned back on and tested it out…no more leak! 🤯 Thank you all so much once again! Total cost was around $15 for the puller and $55 for the new 1222 cartridge. Total satisfaction from accomplishing this (with my son ‘helping’ by reading the directions…), Priceless. 😊 https://ibb.co/pRWy9k3 https://ibb.co/SmGn88Z
