To remove a friction fit handle, simply grasp the handle and gently pull it away from the faucet body. Be cautious not to apply excessive force to avoid damaging the internal mechanism. For handles with threaded trim, hold the handle and the trim separately and carefully rotate the trim counterclockwise to unthread it. This will allow you to lift the handle away. If necessary, use a handle puller or pliers, and remember to protect the handle’s finish with a towel or cloth.
