Request removalShut off the water supply
Turn the valves under the sink clockwise until fully closed. Test by turning on the tap — no water should flow.
Remove the faucet handle
Unscrew the decorative cap and the handle screw. Pull the handle straight up to remove.
Replace the cartridge or O-rings
Take the old part to the hardware store to match it. Install the new one in the same orientation.
Reassemble and test
Reverse the disassembly steps, turn the water back on slowly, and check for leaks.
