Turn the water supply off under the deck.

Locate the bell shaped housing under the handle and un-thread counter clockwise to loosen.

The handle and bell housing are one assembly, DO NOT DISASSEMBLE.

Once the bell shaped housing is loose, it will toggle up and down, indicating the handle assembly is free from the cartridge.

Pull the handle straight up and off the cartridge stem.

Use a crescent wrench to remove cartridge by rotating counter clockwise, as shown.

If the side valve rotates with the cartridge, hold the side valve from under the deck as you rotate the cartridge counter clockwise from above the deck.

Remove cartridge and replace by inserting the new cartridge and rotating clockwise until snug.

Turn the water supply back on to test.

Reassemble the handle assembly onto the new cartridge stem.
