Can loosen screw Plumbing
The handle on my sink came off.
http://imgur.com/a/bP5rf The handle is being held down by a small piece under the Phillips head screw. I am trying to back out the screw, but since it is not coming out, I assume something else is turning. If I put my nephew under the sink will he be able to clamp onto whatever is turning so I can back out the screw? Btw the faucet is a moen. |

Seems to me there is nothing under the sink to stop/fix your problem. The handle and the spout are fixed from above. Send the picture to Moen is another option. Get their advice. |

I think that piece just pulls straight out with no need to remove that screw. I think you need to unscrew the black plastic flange. Read the instructions that came with it...if you don't have them just go the Moen's website |

And parts are generally free if you contact Moen. Virtually all of their stuff has a full warranty. |
