Extra note to those out there that are newbies like me and this is the first timeonce the cartridge is coming out and you cannot turn the nut more for me this happened at about half as far as it did for big al then carefully hold the handle and with constant gentle pressure turn the handle leftright over and over slowly pulling at the same time to coax the cartridge out
