Thank you for your question, Mark. Please be sure to turn off the water supplies before disassembling the faucet.The handle can be removed by pulling it toward you. It is held onto the splines by friction. You can use an adjustable wrench to unscrew and replace the cartridge. We recommend hand tightening the cartridge, then turning it a 1/4 turn with a wrench. Best regards, Jon

I just wanted to say thank you, Lance. Have been trying to get this off for years. Was able to get it off last time but just rotating the whole think counter clockwise and taking the handle off with the cartridge at once. But it takes a lot of force and I'm surprised it didn't break. This is the correct method and it takes zero force. 

Hello Deborah, Thank you for reaching out to Delta Faucet Company! To remove the handle on our 1165LF you will need a 3/32" inch allen wrench, an adjustable wrench, and towels for excess water. Please turn the water off to the faucet and unthread the lever part of the handle counterclockwise, use the 3/32" inch allen wrench to remove the set screw, pull the handle off and you will see the handle adapter and the cartridge. We appreciate your inquiry. Please reach out directly if you have further questions! Best Regards, Kyra Digital Engagement Specialist

Hi Janel24, Thank you for contacting Delta Faucet Company! Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience you are experiencing. Here is what we can do to resolve your issue for you. Our Delta Faucet Metal Lever Handle Kit W/ Valve Cartridge - Pot Filler In Chrome MODEL#: RP76953 could be clogged with debris, causing the cartridge to not seal properly when closed. Our recommendation would be to turn the water off, remove the cartridge and soak it in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. If this does not fix the issue, the cartridge would need replaced. Thank you for being a loyal Delta Faucet customer. We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing to serve you. Please contact us back with any further questions.
