Delta 1500 series unistall

Author: dhro1 (NH)

Hi
I am trying to remove the current Delta 1500 series faucet and have noticed a white plastic piece in front of a hexagonal nut (see below).

I am wondering how to remove this plastic piece. I have removed the temperature control cover, handle screw and temperature control.
I tried prying it off or using a pair of pliers to try to pull it off, but it does not seem to be appropriate. The handle is still on and I cannot remove the handle with this on there.

If you had thoughts on how to remove this, that would be great.

Thanks
Dan

Author: m & m (MD) The handle should pull straight off but it looks to be pretty gunked up so it may fight you.

Author: dhro1 (NH) The white piece is in front of a nut which may be holding in the handle. Is there a way to remove this white piece before removing the handle?

Author: hj (AZ) None of my parts breakdowns show that white piece but without a screw in the center of it, there is nothing to hold it in place other than some corrosion. Pull hard while "wiggling" it.
