Squeeking hot water faucets

[LindaH]

Both of our hot water faucets -- the one in the bathroom and the one in the kitchen -- squeek when turned on and off. It's very annoying, and we'd like to take them off to oil them, but can't figure out how to get them off. Most faucet handles have an inset screw, but these don't.

Anyone know how to get them off?

Linda,
On top of the Faucet handles is a plastic tab about the length of the handle. Take a small tip screw driver or your finger nail and pop that cap off. Under it you will see a screw to remove the handle, this will allow you to get under the handle. I would use a silicone spray to help lub the handles, that way you do not get a oil residue around the handles. Hope this helps and have a great weekend.

Thanks, Wrongway. I'd noticed the tab on top of the handles, but just thought they were decorations!
