I Finally Got The Faucet Handle Off! #homeimprovement #helpingothers #diy #plumbing

What happens here

Begin by attempting to pry off the decorative base of the faucet handle. Wear work gloves for protection and to improve grip. Insert the tip of a pry bar or a large flat-head screwdriver into the small gap between the handle base and the main faucet body. Apply gentle, steady leverage to try and separate these components. Be cautious to avoid scratching or marring the visible finish of the faucet during this initial prying motion.

Goal: Detatch the decorative base of the faucet handle.

I'm not trying to jam this into my finger. Oh, it's coming now. Gas. OK. And it came out, but it broke the cartridge. Plastic against metal. Metal's always going to win. What's that? Oh, finally. Dude, there is no way, dude. That screw was so calcified in there.
