Default how to take apart this faucet

I bought a faucet a year ago from hoem depot. It's an American Standard.
It's one of those cheap ones, cost me probably around $60 Canadian. But it's
leaking now. American Standard has a life time warranty on it. It's very
nice of them to deliver me a set of parts i.e. cartrige.. But I have
difficulties taking that faucet apart. Any one know how to? Thank you in
advance. Here is link where you can see pictures of the faucet.

Look for and loosen an allen head set screw near the base of the lever, and
go from there.

Thank you for your instruction. I thought I loosen it up already with an
allen key but the lever still won't come out, do I have to pull it out with
great force?

To add to that, I believe it is on the back of the lever.

Yes. And it takes a lot of force to get it back together. I went through the
same cycle 2 years in a row before I gave up and changed to a better faucet.
