Two handle kitchen Faucet invisible screw: Leaking Faucet

chicago7100

I am trying to open my leaking faucet but not able to see any screw to user allen wrench. There is no plastic cover, or visible screw to open further. Please help me how I can open handle. Find attached two pictures. It seems from the pictures that there is place to open in corner of handle but it's not.
Please reply

It looks like you need to get out the ol' basin wrench and attack from below. Po)

Not sure of the brand, but have you checked to see if the caps over the ends of the levers (shortest end extending beyond the post) doesn't have a press on cap? They are very hard to detect sometimes and even more difficult to remove. It would expose the set screw that secures the handle to the post. From there you are ok. If you feel that this cap is the answer, dry it well and let a drop of liquid wrench or similar lube set a while, then attempt to carefully press a strong yet sharp blade, lifting from the bottom at the point where it meets the post, so as to not leave any noticable marks.

Looked closer at that handle, check both ends for the possibility of a press on cap.

Thanks both.
I will try to find it again as Jackofmany recommend. Otherwise I will open it under the sink through basin wrench.

I've seen some lav faucets where the first part of the vertical section unscrewed from the base, and the handle was able to lift off after it was loose. It will definitely come apart from above, so start twisting pieces until something moves

Hey chicago7100 I’ve run into a similar mystery screw situation before as well. I think the guys are right about the spout being secured from underneath. On the handles what happened in my situation was that the handhold portion is what actually unscrewed and gave access to the setscrew holding the stem. Good luck with this.

I swear these guys lay awake at night thinking up new ways to hide the screws on these things.... lol

Twist here, it should come loose.

Correct, it most likely looks like this under there.
Loosen the side nuts (if necessary) as well.
