Cant seem to find anything that reveals how to remove this faucet as the hot side is leaking. Looked underneath but it is clearly bolted from the top.
Cant find a brand anywhere either.
Is this simply a job for a handle puller ? If so how to do it and not scratch the chrome.
see pic

Thanks in advance.

ugh, my mother has that same model at her house, the innards are plastic and the handles get loose over time, and I am too busy fixing other stuff to care about getting replacement parts for it! I hate it!!!!!!!! lol

Moen

As Terry said, the large "bulge" unscrews which removes the handle. BUT, there are no "washers" to replace so you need a new stem unit before you do it. SOMETIMES, that "bulge" is so tight you have to destroy it with a large wrench to get it off, the you call Moen and have them send you new ones. This is not a problem with the newer ones, however.
