Review on Moen 97479 Monticello Widespread Bathroom Sink Faucet Stem Extension Kit - Enhanced for SEO by Jeff Langford

Like everyone else, my original nuts were damaged by debris trying to remove them, although I was careful and used the 'official Moen tool' I thought I would be smart to use the new nuts from this set. The brass body was thoroughly cleaned with CLR and a wire brush before the new cartridge and nut were fitted. The cartridge was fully installed which in itself was a nightmare , since the fastening tab is at the bottom, so you're working blind. But after it was finally in place I greased the threads and screwed in this new lock nut to keep it straight. When it came off the mounting tabs had sheared off and I can see the nylon splinters on the sides. Now I can't get in or out. Nylon is absurdly soft, pure junk. At least the original part was made of harder plastic. I d should have reused it. Now I spent $60 on accessories and I have to call them and tell them I need a new faucet.
