I can't seem to figure out how to get it off. It appears to not have a capo on the front, but is solid. I cannot see aby allen scres along the side either

Peter... do you have a manufacturer's name on the shower valve.. Any identifying marks..? I will see if I can find a specification sheet for your valve if you can get me a name.
All handles that I know of use either the allen screw OR have a cap at the end that must be pried up and off to access the screw..?
Let us know what you can!

I figured it out. The front cover is a large solid chrome disk that is slightly raised from the body of the knob by about 1/8", and it screwed off (American Standard, I think). I then completed my repairs and replaced the handle. Thanks for your help.
