How to change washer or cartridge

Author: LakeGuyMO (MO)

This faucet has a SLOW dripping. I would like to change the washer or cartridge to stop the dripping.
I can NOT figure out how to take the faucet apart though. There are no screws or set screws visible.

1. How do I take the faucet apart?
2. What make is the faucet? So I can contact the manufacture.

I have a picture of the Top and Bottom of the faucet. I will add them after I figure out how.

Thank you

Ron

Author: steve (CA) The faucet is a Moen 6010. The handle comes off with the pyramid. Unscrew the pyramid from the faucet body to access the valve cartridge.

Four things:

1. Most important, thank you very much Steve. I REALLY appreciate your assistance.
2. It amazed me how fast I got a reply. I seriously thought it would take much longer.
3. It is forums like this one that makes the Internet worth having. Nice to see a good website instead of all of the garbage out there.
4. I did search on YouTube and found a video on how to remove the two handles. That video provided the missing piece of information I needed.

Once again,THANK YOU STEVE.
