I have extracted the legend of figure 5B of the installation instruction here for your reference:
Remove handle from the faucet by loosening set screw (1) and pulling off handle. Once handle is removed, loosen set screw (2) from the bottom of the handle, remove accent (3), replace with new accent, tighten set screw (2), replace handle on faucet and tighten set screw (1).

Repla ing the washers on a Delta faucet
First turn off water to faucet. There will either be a set screw or a screw under the cap depending on the style. Once handle is removed there is the bonnet, crescent wrench or channel locks will do the trick.
