Do you know which model you have? Moen has some great tutorials for this kind of thing. Installation Help / Animated Tutorials for Moen Faucet (http://www.moen.com/consumer-support/installation-help/tutorial?id=moen0101) On many Moen you first look for their little blue logo which is actually a rubber plug covering up a set screw, loosen that screw.

Hi Rbchandler

If this is a single handle faucet then there should be a button on the front of the handle (see image below).

Remove the "button" using the edge of a knife (simply pops forward) and then use the proper sized allen wrench to remove the allen wrench inside. If you use a flashlight and move the handle around a bit you will find the allen screw faster... ;)

If this is a two handle faucet I'd need the model number of the faucet to tell you more, OK?

Back to you..

Mark great minds but we don't know the difference between a plug and a button, go figure.

I didn't know what to call the darn thing... button just came to mind!

Timing was amazing, too... both posted at 10:04

Have a great night, Bob!
