Remove the Handles for the Purist Faucet
To remove the handle for the widespread Purist bathroom or bidet faucet, refer to the following directions.
1 Hold on to the handle while turning the handle base or skirt counterclockwise by hand or with a strap wrench, taking care to protect the finish.
2 Remove any remaining components to expose the valve. Set all parts aside for re-use.
3 The valve can now be replaced or other repairs made.
4 Reassemble handle parts in reverse order.
Note: Remove mineral deposits with a 50/50 white vinegar and warm water solution.
How do you remove a shower handle?
Update: SOLVED , thanks guys!

I’m trying to get the handle off this faucet so that I can ID the valve and pressure balancing unit and order its replacement.
I looked on the Kohler website and it told me to turn the handle + bonnet counterclockwise. Well, I just turned the handle... now thats loose and possibly broken (a mistake).
Then, I got a rubber strap wrench and turned the bonnet counterclockwise. it moved a little and water turned on. So I might’ve damaged that too.
I was able to move it back to the middle and I’m pretty confident everything is off and will remain dry for now.
How do I get this bonnet/ handle off ? I looked for set screws but didn’t see any.
Do I need to order a new bonnet/handle also?
Any general advice is welcome.
Thanks for your replies!

Basic developer grade shower handle and need to remove it to get access to the valve. I have 2 showers with these and they both have a separate issue. One is not gripping the valve anymore and the other is giving hot enough water anymore. I have a bathroom renovation happening in a couple of months and hoping I can temporarily fix one of these until then.
