Thread Name: BS: How to remove faucet handle
Subject: RE: BS: How to remove faucet handle
Well, yer just going to have to find two placed that the arms of the puller can get their fingers under... Then tighten both down... Now here's an important part: loosen the screw but don't pull it all the way out... Use it as the your target for the bolt that gets tightened down.... Now you have the fingers on the arms pulling outward and the both pushing downward.... All the puller has to to is budge it off the shaft... That's all it will take... Once it has budged then the handle will lift off with ease... Just get it to budge and then remove puller...

Also, once you have the puller in place and it is trying to pull the handle just take a small hammer and tap the handle lightly on the part that is next to the shaft... This alone may agitate the molecules and waa-laa...

Bow keep in mind my advice to have several gallons of water stored up in case things don't go well...

And good luck... I think you will be fine...
