What happens here
Locate the two Phillips head screws that hold the escutcheon plate in place. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to unscrew them. If caulk is present around the escutcheon, carefully use a razor knife to cut through it to free the plate. The video shows cutting around the caulk and then prying the plate off from a small divot on the side.
Goal: The decorative escutcheon plate is secured by two Phillips head screws and may also be sealed with caulk, requiring careful removal.
