I have a 2 handle widespread lav faucet that appears to have no set screw anywhere. (No top button cap to pry off either) Need to change the cartridge and am uncertain how to get this thing off. I *believe* its a Delta

The large bell shaped bonnet should unthread from a valve body that is clamped to the sink.

Okay thanks. I will give that a shot again. I put a pair of channel locks on it, with a rag between, and it was turning the entire handle. Wasn't sure if that was correct and was afraid something was going to break.

To be clear, I don't need to remove the entire handle from the sink, just untread it from the top?

Thanks
