Replaced cartridge in Delta 1500 series single handle Monitor valve. After trying to initially remove bonnet nut with a strap wrench I noticed i had rotated cartridge housing slightly, notch used to be at 9 o'clock position, now about 3/16" below 9 o'clock. Stopped there and used dremel to cut and remove bonnet nut. After a week of no leaks - full water pressure ( I removed access panel on back side to watch for leaks) I am thinking the twist in the three tubes at the back of the valve was small enough that hopefully they won't start leaking sometime in the future. Does this sound okay?
