Stupid question, I know, but does the water have to be turned off ?
(At my house the only water shut-off is in the well...)


If you are only taking the handle off, I don't think so.

BTW, any chance the set screw is there but it's covered by soap and
soap scum etc.?


I am only taking off the handle and the back plate in order to re-
tile. There is no set screw, but I do see where it should go. I should
mention that this faucet has been in a few months but has rarely been
turned on (guest bath). There is no soap scum of hard water residue.
Am I right that the handle should just pull off?


Well, I don't know- I have no experience with one-handeld faucets
--but another thing you can do is go look at a Kohler facuet at a
hardware store adn see how it is made, or better yet, read the
instructinos that come with it. Probably all models are simlar, or
find close to your model.
