Hi, I've been having trouble with low water pressure coming out of the bath tub faucet and shower, only on the hot side. I'm looking at trying to check the cartridge and replace it if needed. I removed the handle but my handle looks nothing like any of the DIY videos I've watched, and I don't know how to go about removing it.

Call a plumber, they'll take care of you

What's up with the watermelon flag. Looks like a USA flag with different colors.

Turn off the water.
Unscrew the cap that has the flat sides for a wrench.

Petey needs to go away and never come back. No place for ridicule on this forum.

Follow Mr_David's advise and unscrew the nut in the picture. After the nut is removed the stem will pull straight out with minimal effort. To repair, follow online instructions for how to repair a Delta brand two handle faucet.
