Best Answer

You broke the stop in the cartridge. The only thing to do now is drill out the head of the screw. If you use the right size, you should be able to drill out the head and get the handle off. There should be enough of the screw left that you can remove it with pliers, but you will probably be replacing the cartridge. They are not terribly expensive. The most expensive is around $30. Drill bit size is probably 3/16 or 1/4 if you are careful.

Generally, the handle needs to be removed either by popping a single tab off the center of the handle, or removing a set screw from the side. Once the handle is removed, there will be a plastic ring through which the center post connects the handle to the valve. This black ring and be pulled out, and rotated to raise or lower the maximum temperature setting.

Have a moen single handle shower control Removed Escutcheon and retainer clip Broke brass stem Now how to remove the cartridge?

Most likely the inside guts of the cartridge area are all broken now. I have removed the rest with EZ Outs. It pushes in and you turn it counterclockwise and hopefully it will release whats left. Just make sure to try and not damage the brass side walls.

The handle must be removed to allow access to the retainer clip, then the cartridge pulls out. You may need a cartridge puller if the faucet is old.
