Hi,
I almost think I should put this one under 'diy disasters'.

I fitted a concealed thermostatic valve with 2 outlets and plumbed the bath in.

The instructions for the valve state under problem solving -

"shower or bath filler runs only hot OR cold (in my case hot) - hot and cold pipes are plumbed the wrong way around. Remove the thermostatic cartridge. Undo the 52mm AF clamp nut and pull cartridge out. Reinstall with the locating lug point away from the inlets"

......or alternatively re-plumb the piping the right way around.

My questions are:

What tool would I need to remove the cartridge (the nut has 4 slots on it and is very large)?

Is it difficult to do?

Any advice welcome.
