My HANSASTELA single-lever bath faucet 47849041 is leaking. I believe the cartridge needs to be replaced. Since I can’t get a plumber, I want to try doing it myself.

I have unscrewed the hex screw on the handle and tried to pull the handle off.
I couldn’t manage to remove it—could the handle be calcified, or what should I do?

Behind the cover plate, I see a plastic ring with several notches—is it possible that I need to loosen this? If yes, what tool do I need for that?
