In addition to JACK's answer that both the screws on the handles and the [nut] things underneath loosen counter clockwise...
The screw that actually holds the rubber washer on actually loosens clockwise (reverse-thread)...At least the one for the hot water anyway. I still have to replace the cold side. See photos below for image of screw mentioned.
