    Faucet handle
    I have a Price Pfister two handle kitchen faucet that's about 7 years old. I'm trying to get the hot water handle off so I can replace the cartridge. There are no screws or set screws on the handle. Do I just pry the handle off with a screwdriver?

    No! But what you do pry off is the insert on top of the knob. Underneath you'll find a screw. Remove the screw and the knob will pull right off. Good luck, Tom

    As Tom said, No, No, do not try to merely pry the handle off, as you will surely damage something. Is there a cap on the top of the handle that pops off? Maybe. Lets see some pics of your fuacet, or even a model of the faucet so we can see how this particular one comes off.
