First thing, remove the little plastic screw covers from the old handle.

Take the screws out

Clean all the old butyl sticky stuff

The new handle comes in two pieces. The plastic mounting piece then the chrome cover.
The plastic mounting piece has 6 holes for mounting. Screws are not included. I used two of the original screws from the old handle, and four self-tapping screws. I was able to use the original holes for two of the spots. I applied butyl tape to the mounting area, then lined up on the existing holes and put the original screws back in, then put in the additional self-tapping screws with a drill.
Then you use an allen wrench to attach the chrome top in three places. The allen wrench is not provided. It has to be an "L" shaped allen wrench because one of the allen screws is in the center behind the handle. The screws are provided.
