Price Pfister Avante faucet - handle removal

[MicheleDIY]

Hi! My tub faucet in my newly purchased home is leaking. I went to replace the cartridge in the handle and found that there is no cap with screw underneath or hole for an Allen screw. In fact, there seems to be no way to remove the handle at all, and I am hesitant to try pulling it off for fear of really damaging it. Can anyone help? It is a Price Pfister and looks to be at least 20 years old. Please ignore the bungee and tag in the photo- they are currently holding the faucet to a slowish drip.

The Price Pfister logo piece should pop off and then you can get to a screw underneath.

Did you ever figure out how to remove the handle? I have a similar handle and removing the sticker doesn't reveal any screw underneath!

Its not the sticker itself, under the push out part the sticker is on you can pry is off easily with a screwdriver.

@MicheleDIY, do you know the model # of your faucet? I have the same exact one and have to replace cartridge. (leaking and no cold).

Probably a Pfister "Flowmatic".
