I am trying to remove my Posi-Temp Shower handle but I have been unable to get the alan screw loose. In fact, I'm almost convinced there is no hex screw in there! I know I have to get that stupid thing out of there to remove the handle, but I can't seem to get it out. Any suggestions?
Your help is much appreciated!
Call moen 1-800-buy- moen
You will need a 7/64 allen key / hex. wrench - nothing else will fit and remove the screw completely.
I hate to say this but maybe the inside of the allen screw has been rounded out by a previous worker. You can drill the screw out and replace the handle with a new one. NOTE: Moen replacement parts are not cheap!
SOURCE: Can't remove the handle on Moen shower handle... Seriously!!!
heat it up with a torch, or just break it off, you can call moen at that point and kindly tell them that your handle broke and you need a new handle and cartridge. or you can get a drill and drill the allen screw out, they are such a pain i usually break them when i can get them out and get parts for it then
Remove the handle and see if it will turn off without the handle and if it will reposition the handle alignment and your good to go. If no the cartridge will need to be replaced.
