Moen balancing spool
Moens balancing spool moves back and forth inside the cylinder to regulate flow of water to keep you from getting scalded. If it is not working properly you can get to much of hot or cold water coming out of the spout....or low to no water coming out.
Moen cathedral keeps coming loose
tighten the lock down nut under the sink , also,, unscrew the cap (at the base of the spout,, and Lube the O ring ( with either plummer grease if you have it, or if not with vasoline) this should cure your problem
No Hot water coming out
Cartridge removal is a simple matter of exposing and pulling out the old cartridge. Before getting started, turn off both water valves underneath the sink and allow the water to run until the line is clear. Using a screwdriver, gently pry off the cap on the lever of the faucet handle to expose the cartridge. Remove the U-shaped retaining clip that holds the cartridge in place and pull the cartridge out. If dirt or residue makes removal difficult, use a Moen cartridge puller to assist you. A cartridge puller fits over the cartridge and gives you greater pulling power.
Soak the dirty cartridge in vinegar for four hours and replace.
If cleaning the cartridge does not work, call the Moen Helpline at 1-800-465-6636 or Customer Service at 1-800-465-6130 to order a free replacement. Locate the part number on the cover page of your instruction manual. If you no longer have the manual, look on the underside of the spout.

How do I clean the
If you are talking about the areator you can remove it by turning it to your right . You can remove the screens and brass disc and clean them with soft brush and cleaner like mild C.L.R. and water solution. This will clean lime and mineral scale from them. Do not use this on outside finish. Use softscrub and soft cloth to clean. If the finish is too badly discolored you can get replacements at most hardware stores or for special finishes go to moen.com for location of dealer nearest to you. To install just reverse steps. I hope this helps you. Thanks
When you lift the handle
the pipes are banging in the wall from water hammering and need to be straped. or a hammer aressetor needs to be installed.
How do i unscrew the
I would use what is called a strap wrench it would be best. That way you do not mess up the finish on your faucet or leave marks on it from a pair of channel lock pliers.
