Hello, I'm new to this forum and hope someone can help me. I have a faucet leak in the tub, don't know if it's one or both but assume I should fix both. I'm attaching a picture since I really don't know what I'm talking about. I removed the acrylic handle that fits over a brass sleeve but am unable to remove the sleeve to access the cartridge. The sleeve appears to be attached to and rotates the stem. The notches on the front of the sleeve lock into the handle. Made a 40 miles trip to the nearest home depot and the so-called plumbing expert said he had never seen this kind of mechanism. Would hate to have to call a plumber, it's $100 just to come and see (I live on top a 7,000 ft mountain). Sorry for being so long-winded and thanks for any help you can give me.
