First-timer here -- apologies for the basic question.

We recently moved into a house with a leaky faucet in the master bath. Water comes out from underneath the bases of the handles (where it sits on the granite).

I'm trying to take apart the faucet to inspect & fix, but am having trouble get the faucet apart. I'm not sure what brand/model the faucets are, so I haven't been able to find documentation online.

I pried off the temperature indicator ("H"), found a screw underneath, and was then able to get the handle off. Now I'm stuck

The cartridge inside doesn't pull up & out. I tried with pliers & a decent amount of force. It also appears to be a bit wider than the opening.

The remaining trim doesn't appear to screw at all. I also looked for any sort of small hex set screw on the back, and there are none.

Underneath the sink, on the underside of the faucet handles, looks pretty corroded (last pic).

Not sure where to go from here. Appreciate any help. Thanks!

The dome spins off and under that will be a nut that holds the faucet stem in. Kind of looks like Delta.
It may be that loosening the nut below the counter will help with that.
