It is not necessary to remove the back plate to replace the
Delta Monitor cartridge. It is removed in the images because this faucet was just installed. If you have this type of handle you will need a very small Allen key wrench to remove the set screw that is in the base of the handle, just look for the little hole in  the handle.

This image is of a Moen Positemp shower faucet but the location of the set screw is in the same place as the Delta Monitor. Remember you can click on the image to see a larger image. If you have the plastic ball handle remove the button with the Delta logo on it then remove the screw.

Once the handle is removed you will need to remove the chrome sleeve, just grab it and pull it straight out towards you. it does not need to be turned, but turning may help it come out. Again the back plate does not need to be removed.

With the sleeve removed the nut will be exposed. this nut needs to be removed. be careful not to put too much pressure on the nut, if you are using channel locks you can squeeze too hard and end up pinching the nut causing it not to turn. hold the channel locks on the very end of the nut (closer to you) to avoid crushing the nut. The nut turns counter clockwise as you face it.

With the nut removed, you can pull the old cartridge out. just grab it and pull straight out. if it is tight try using a small screwdriver between the cartridge and the brass body, being careful not to damage the brass body.

Once you have it removed this far it should just come out. You may want to save some money be trying to repair the cartridge, but you will find that it is just a waste of time, get a new cartridge.

Please continue to the next page to see the rest of the instructions.
