Leaking bathroom sink faucet question

Look at the top of the mushroom closely. Doesn't the top of the mushroom pry off? I don't recall any Eljers that didn't have a stem screw on top.

Some of the Eljers are covered in this pdf.

Most likely it has an allen set screw on the backside of the handle Moen sends replacement cartridges free if u go to their website, they also furnish instructions along with the parts. Check if Elger has a site

The faucet unit I have is the Eljer Ultima Slant-Back Lavatory on page

Try screwing the mushroom off. It might be threaded into the handle. My faucet is like that. It had a chrome cap. At first I tried to pry it off, it didn't budge. Then I found out it was threaded.

Hi there,

I'm new to the forum, but I signed up, just because I can answer this question. :)

There is a slot on the side of the handle. This will be under the mushroom. Just stick a screw driver in the slot & push. Then the handle will lift off.

Once the handle is removed, then you will see a set screw to remove the handle adapter. Once the adapter is removed, then you will need a plumber's wrench (or other deep socket wrench) to remove the stem assembly/cartridge. Then once you have this removed, then you will need a "square wrench" to remove the seat at the bottom of the cartridge. a square wrench looks a lot like an alan wrench, but there are only 4 sides.

The style of this faucet is the "Ultima". Possible sources for these repair parts:
