How to remove handle from faucet without screw

Question

There is no brand name or any other mark on the faucet. I didn't find any set screws. When the plug on the top is removed, I can see the top of the stem. The handle is not attached to the bell part.
Can anybody suggest how to remove the handle so I have access to the leaking stem.

I had a similar one and the white handle was fixed with a long bolt that went through its length - that just unscrewed...

The other end of the handle is not visible in the picture...

I suspect your faucet is similar in design to this Glacier Bay faucet. The replacement parts diagram shows a little "cap" (they call it an "Index") on top of the vertical section which covers a screw. Remove the cap and the screw and everything else should be accessible.

I took apart a faucet set recently where there was an hex allen set screw into the stem on the back side of the handle. I didn't think to look there for the longest time, but there it was. Feel around the back of the handle to check. The end of the handle also screwed off, but that doesn't help.
