Removing a Moen Faucet handle

The house I live in has a Moen faucet installed in the bathroom. The hot water side started dripping so I went to take it apart to change the washer or insert and I can't get the darned thing off! It's a handle type knob, the handle unscrews but there is no screw to remove or anything that just jumps up and says remove me. It's a 3 holer, 2 faucets and spicket.
Any ideas on how to remove this handle?
Thank you
Ed

Wait, if this is a mini-wide spread faucet, the handle body will unscrew from the faucet body, counterclockwise, sometimes these get stuck and can be a pain to unscrew from there.

If the faucet handles look like this then they will unscrew from there.

Yes, the handle unscrews from the body and I looked inside and don't remember seeing an allen screw but I'm not at home now so I can't go check.
