Hi!

How do you go about removing the handle on the faucet in this picture?

One would think the little caps on the handles would pop off, but they didn't. I just used my fingernail and it's like they couldn't lift off. I didn't want to try a screwdriver before checking here to see if anybody has any hints.

Thanks!

Thank you for the responses.

I saw that web site and tried 4a, but it didn't work. The only part that rotates is the handle part. The area below the handle doesn't rotate.

I would think it would be a cap on the handle, but I didn't want to gouge or scratch the handle if it won't work.

I'm open to other ideas!!

Thanks!

Thank you all for the responses.

When I got home today, I used a rubber strap wrench and was able to rotate the area right under the handle in order to remove it, just like everybody mentioned. I didn't scratch anything and it worked out great.

Thanks for the help!!
