replacing bath faucets

The bath faucets are single round handle ones made by Moen.They are 29 years old and the the piece inside needs to come out so I can replace it with a new one. I can't get them to come out! I've taken the pin out and they are stuck in tight. What can I do to get the parts out? I sprayed WD40 in to the area and replaced everything until I know what to do. Help!! Any ideas? or is a plumber needed? the Moen parts are free if I can get them out!

Welcome to the forums! Without the model number or a picture of it, it would be difficult to determine the removal method for your particular model, especially if it is an older one.
WD-40 is not a lubricant, nor is it a penetrating product (WD=water displacement, formula 40) Buy some PB Blaster (auto parts or big box stores) in penetrating formula and try that. In the meantime you can post pictures this way. http://forum.doityourself.com/electr...your-post.html
