Moen 4621 Chateau 1 Handle Bathroom Faucet W/drain Assy - Page 3 Questions & Answers
What size Allen wrench is needed to remove the handle from a Moen kitchen faucet?
the right one. Get a set. Try different sizes till you find one that fits snugly. No wiggle. There are american sizes and metric sizes. Get one of each (probably $20 at home depot) Northern Tool and Equipment way cheaper. Ebay, sometimes cheaper still. Or go to Home Depot or Lowes with a photo of your kitchen faucet and see if they sell one that looks like it, and see what it uses...
Have a Moen 6410 and I cannot get the aerator out. Help
You will need the tool that came with your Moen faucet to remove it. If you don't have the tool, you will need to get one from Moen. It turns CCW to loosen (as you're looking up at the aerator). You might also soak it in some white vinager to help loosen it.
I understand that my Moen kitchen faucet is leaking and that it probably needs new orings but I cannot unscrew the top to get at it. What can I do to loosen it?
Usually I would stop here and give up. Time you will spend will not be worth your trouble. A new faucet is a better solution. But you asked a question and I respect that. If I wanted to pull the knob off and the screw was damaged or frozen. I would drill out the head of the screw. Once the head is gone, the knob should slip off the splines. Now check if you will need to replace the valve or rebuild it. If the valve can be rebuilt. You will decide to either leave the broken screw alone or remove it before rebuilding it. I would try to heat up the screw and splined collar with a propane torch and try to dissolve the corrosion trapped between the threads. Then use either small vise grips or adjustable pliers to see if I can work out the broken screw, without damaging the splines.
