Brown (2015) completely covers how to handle the correlated error. I also found an article I found that seems to give similar advice.

By Raiman S Answered 7 years ago

There are two ways to handle correlated errors during CFA:
1. Remove the lower factor loading item between the two.
2. Constrain the effects of correlated errors through co-variation between the two measurement errors.

There is one more approach for the same, i.e., to develop a second-order factor analysis.
