Hello everyone. Can someone please tell me how to disassemble this Moen 4 inch center 2 handle faucet? It's about 3 years old but has heavy deposits that has made the handles very hard and stiff to turn. I need to remove the handles complete in order to check/replace things to make it operate smooth. The problem is that the center faucet head prevents me from turning/unscrewing the escutcheons. If I remove two screws that help hold the center faucet head to the main plate underneath, I can see a plastic tube but I'm not exactly sure how to safely remove it. I assume I need to disconnect this white tube and then the head can come off and I could then finally turn the escutcheons all the way around.
I wish there was a cap and screw so you could remove the actual long handle parts but there is not. So I think you have to turn the whole escutcheons with handles all the way around to remove and the center faucet is preventing that.
Thanks for any help.
