Grohe shower leaking

Author: darla (NJ)

I have a Grohe shower that has been dripping unless I turned the knob to just the right spot. Now it's getting worse. I've looked at pictures and it appears to be a Europlus 2? model. It looks like this:

It's about 12 years old. I don't know much, er anything, about plumbing but I'd like to open the valve up and see if I can spot the problem part and at least have it ready for the plumber to save him a trip. But there are no screws in this and I can't tell how to get it open. Checked YouTube but didn't see this one there. Can you advise me please?
Thanks!

Re: Grohe shower leaking
Author: darla (NJ) What I see is a hole. Using a mirror and LED light I don't see anything that an allen wrench (or anything else) could lock onto and loosen. And it's a deep enough hole that it's hard to see anything at all in there. Is something missing? [i1258.photobucket.com]
