Step 3 · Remove Cap and Spout
With the handle removed, you will see a decorative dome-shaped cap covering the top of the faucet body. This cap is usually threaded on. Try to unscrew it by hand first. If it is too tight, wrap a cloth or rag around the cap to protect its finish, then use a pair of slip-joint pliers to grip it and turn it counter-clockwise. Once the cap is removed, you will expose the faucet's cartridge and the top of the spout assembly. You can now grasp the spout and pull it straight up, wiggling it slightly from side to side if it's snug. This will lift the spout off the main faucet body.
