Need to remove handles
1.) its not all one piece
2.) the tower threads onto the valve body, you may need to loosen the mounting nut under the sink top with a basin wrench to relieve the pressure on the handle tower
3.) this is the exploded parts view for your faucet: http://www.moen.com/shared/docs/exploded-parts-views/s498pt.pdf
4.) this is the instruction sheet for your faucet, including a technical support number you can call: http://www.moen.com/shared/docs/instruction-sheets/ins1207.pdf
SOURCE: trying to get the handle off a single handle moen kitchen faucet
Hi adelinette,
Pry the cover off the top of the faucet with a little screwdriver. Under the cover you will find an allen head screw. Sometimes a little upward pressure with a screwdriver will help. Unscrew it and start disassemblying. Pay attention to part location as you take the faucet apart. you will be replacing a stem and not a washer when you get into it.
Good Luck and please rate this response, Phil
