Hello. The hot water side of a two handle sink is leaking. I was able to remove the hot water handle, but now I am at a loss. I can't get anything to budge here and I am finding that this doesn't look like any of the videos or help guides I've looked at. I unfortunately don't know what make and model of faucet I have. I figured that I was supposed to try to unscrew the thing toward the bottom that looks like it might unscrew, but that isn't moving anywhere. Can anyone please provide me with some guidance as to what I should be doing? Thanks in advance!

Get a large wrench and unscrew the bell going counterclockwise. At the bottom of the bell, just over the escutcheon, you will find where to place the wrench jaws.

If you put a cloth over the bell, you will not damage it.

Still won't budge? use more force, use a bigger wrench, spray some lubricant inside, use a pipe over the wrench for added leverage OR call a pro.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
