Stuck Faucet Handles – How to remove

faucet

enter image description hereCan anyone tell me how to remove these faucet handles? I have removed the allen screws and removed the faucet handles. But then I assumed the cones under the handles woudl screw off, but I cannot get them to budge. Is there a trick to this?

I do not know the make/model. I have attached a picture above that shows the hot and cold faucet after I removed the handles. How do I proceed from here?

The answer was to put the handles back on and turn them counter clockwise to unscrew the rest of the part that held the ceramic unit that needed to be replaced. Now the problem is getting the ceramic unit unscrewed, but I hope spraying them with WD-40 a few times will loosen them up.
