I'm slowly replacing Grohe or Hansgrohe fixtures installed 25 years ago with Delta diamond valve fixtures. So far so good. The diamond coated valve surfaces are supposed to last forever, all I need is another 30 or so years.
Re. pulling out the Moen shower valves - yes can be trough - in the past using the provided tool has worked for me. I pull and lube every 3 or 4 years.
Lots of tools and material flying round and you got it to work - that takes talent. The goal is to inflict the max. amount of pain on the POS. Now you can tell the wife you saved $600 in plumber fees - use as equity on the next kitchen pass needed to go to the track.
