I took off handles from faucet, cleaned the residual that was there, but still seems to have no pressure. Is there a way to disassemble the faucet I think the clog is there?

Hi Vremeros
Have you removed the aerator at the end of the spout? If not, remove the aerator and clean it. While the aerator is out, run water to see if pressure/volume are good. If pressure and volume are improved without the aerator in place, clean the aerator or replace it entirely for improved water flow.
If the aerator isn't the issue then the next thing to check will be to see if the shutoff valves under the sink are opened up all the way... check that next.
Finally, if that doesn't resolve your issue then the water needs to be shut off, the handles removed and the guts to the faucet removed.
Start with the basics above...

Handles where removed and degutted but in the center of the faucet, could not get that to unscrew, seems to be one piece.

Aerator is the removable tip of the spout through which water comes out. No need to remove handles. Many times you can unscrew it by hand, no tools necessary... Back to you. Milo
