SOMETIMES STUCK SHOWER FAUCET HANDLES GET THEIR OWN VIDEO!

What happens here

With all the screws removed, use a specialized handle and sleeve puller to remove the corroded faucet handles. Place the puller's arms behind the handle and position the center screw against the valve stem. Tighten the center screw, which will slowly and forcefully pull the handle off the splines of the valve stem. Repeat for all handles.

Goal: Pull off the stuck handles
