How to take off cap and replace kitchen diverter - Moen

[Andrew21]

Hi all,
The sprayer on this kitchen faucet is not working. Its separate from the faucet stem itself. When I pull the sprayer out and hit the button, nothing comes out.

Could this be the diverter? I picked up the diverter (a little brass piece) but I'm not sure how to open up this faucet. Do I turn this piece here?

That's likely the piece you need to get loose to install the diverter. It could be easy or hard to do without marring that piece. Here is a video to show what you are dealing with:

It could also be a problem with the spray head itself. If replacing the diverter doesn't help, that's the other thing to investigate.
