Remove the valve carefully, noting how the pieces fit together - and in what order - are sewn together as a help. Sketches can be very useful as a tool for assembly.
The ball 1Tap
Because the round shape of the valve handle suggests, is to control this valve is a ball of brass, with three gates through which water flows when the doors of the seats in the faucet body is centered. Under the tree of the handle is a screw that has to deal with an Allen key to solve off. Do not take the screw out completely, easily lost.

The handle of the tap is increased to activate the water and cuts off. Inside the lid of the movement of the lever is moved oneCartridge up and down the water and out. An old model of this valve has a mounting bracket to the outer side of the handle to be pulled out of the disassembly.
