The aerator is screwed into the faucet assembly. Sometimes lime deposits make this hard to unscrew so you may need large pliers with a lot of tape to protect the finish from scratches.
- remember, left-loosy/righty tighty, but it's upside down, so clockwise to loosen, when viewed from above the faucet.
Look at the back of the drain pipe directly below the sink. There is something that resembles an oversize nut that can be turned; turn it like a nut to loosen it. As soon at it is completely separated from the threads, hold on to the nut and the rod that goes right through the nut. Using one hand to hold onto the nut and rod at the same time, push the rod into the drain and rotate it downward a little. Drop the new drain plug into drain with the tab (with a hole in it on the bottom) facing away from you with the other hand. Now comes the slightly tricky part. Use hand to hold onto the nut and rod and use the other hand to hold onto the new drain plug in the correct orientation. Back off the rod away from the drain a little bit and drop the drain plug a little to align the hole (on the tab) with the rod. Now move the rod back into the drain and ensure that you've inserted the rod onto the new drain plug by rotating the rod up and down. Once everything's in place, tighten the nut back. The nut should be tight, but not too tight or the drain with be hard to open/close. Hand tighten it only, don't use a wrench. A common mistake is to not have the nut aligned properly when you start tightening it, just be sensible about it. An experienced person can do the whole job in under 2 minutes.
ooops, didn't mean for that to be a request, sorry...It was a solution. Although, if you dont want to deal with Moen, you can get one at your local plumbing suplly store. I recommend taking the old one with you (make sure you shut the water off first!). Again, good luck
Question edited for clarity and add CAPS.
Here is the parts breakdown. Your model is discontinued.
The hand lever unscrews, the part that holds the handle looks like a push fit and then there is a screw collar holding the cartridge. Increase Zoom to 200%.

Hello F Cashman and thank you for your interest in Moen products. The handles for the Moen Waterhill Chrome Two-Handle High Arc Kitchen Faucet are removed by holding the lever stationary, while unscrewing the base of the handle hub counter-clockwise to remove the complete handle. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us directly. https://solutions.moen.com/Article_Library/Kitchen_Handle_2H%3A_Threaded_Hub
Test the flow of water with the showerhead removed (through the shower arm). If you are getting good flow through the shower arm- clean the showerhead to remove any debris and replace if necessary. If there is still no flow, replace the cartridge.

Check the power to it, battery or transformer unit.
Ensure that the data cable and power source cable (battery pack or AC adapter) are plugged in tight and secure. Check Batteries: If using a battery pack, ensure the batteries are installed correctly and are snug in the battery holder. Loose batteries can cause the faucet to operate erratically.
