The attached photo shows the faucets and spout on my 2006? American-Standard Whirlpool tub. The A-S website doesn't show the faucets so I don't know if they are A-S or not. I need to replace the cartridge in one faucet and can't figure out how to remove the handle which is part of a cap that fits over a interior sleeve which is a permanent part of the escutcheon. There aren't any set screws on the handle/cap and the handle/cap can't be easily pulled off. If any of you are familiar with how to access the cartridge, I would sure appreciate your help!!

Sometimes the handle can be yanked straight up and off.
Some handles have a semi flexible plastic stem adapter, which just squeezes around the top of the brass stem.

Or, the escutcheon might be able to unscrew counter clockwise, with a strap wrench, or pliers with padded jaws, or with jaws covered in electrical or duct tape.
Then the whole handle might lift off with the escutcheon.
