I need to change the cartridge. Does not want to come off. Before I try harder, it might be wise to check with the forum. Its a kitchen single lever faucet, probably vintage 1997.

We use a small, screwdriver wrapped with electrical tape - to accomplish this. (Don't want to "mar" the finish!) You'll probably, see a "Phillips-head" screw under-neath. Careful with that! rossfingal

I think you've got it! rossfingal Be careful with the screw under-neath that cap - easy to strip! Last edited by rossfingal; 01-24-2012 at 12:15 PM.

I was ready to pay for the pieces when the fellow at HD pulled a cartridge and the O-rings from his warraty bin and gave them to me a no charge. Made my day. Just had to pay for some silicone grease.
