Repairing a GROHE kitchen faucet leaking at handle (MAY JUST BE A LOOSE PART)
What happens here
Using the knife blade from the multi-tool, carefully pry off the small decorative rubber stopper located on the side of the faucet handle. This will reveal a small set screw. Insert the 2.5mm Allen wrench into the set screw and turn it counter-clockwise ('lefty loosey') to loosen it completely. Once the set screw is removed, gently pull and wiggle the faucet handle upwards to detach it from the faucet body. Note that it might require some force due to a plastic wedge inside.
Goal: Detatch the faucet handle to access internal components.
