Note these two communities are essentially the same:

Mods might want to mention the other community in the sidebar as a related community. Note ATM both communities are on respectable proper decentralized nodes (e.g. neither are on Cloudflare).

How do I get this bathtub handle off? (lemmy.ca)

The handle has been wobbly lately. I figured I just needed to tighten the screw but to my surprise it was plenty tight. I ended up taking the screw all the way out but the handle is still stuck. I think it might be corroded in place which is means the guts inside are what's wobbling which probably means replacing the works.

Any advice on getting the handle off so I can see what's going on? WD-40 and hammer?
