holy crap... That sucked. I'd like to know the trade secret of doing this.
There has got to be a secret. Plumbers would have a high suicide rate if there weren't some secrets.

edit- I completely understand having to drill the cartridge out. The last time I did it, that is just about what happened. This morning I drenched the assembly in PB blaster. Wife was NOT impressed with the smell of PB blaster in bathroom. I don't know if it helped, but the cartridge wasn't completely frozen, as were the other cartridges in the house I have replaced. It just ripped the seals when pulling it out.

I went back to the bathroom and looked- still no drip.

Opening bottle of wine. Man, I'm getting old. That kicked my butt.
