I have removed the set screw, soaked with WD-40, tapped and pried but can't get the handle off. Am I missing something?

it may be corroded on to the square shaft
WD -40 or like type in the screw hole may help but I think a gentle prying with a flat bladed screw drive at the edge of the handle or brute force may be necessary

I assume the wiring has been disconnected where required, use a soft face hammer and on the open end of the motor housing tap the end of the housing at each screw hole, after a few blows the field assembly should start sliding out (every action has an equal and opposite reaction) installation is the reverse, fit the field and keeping it parallel to the housing push it in by hand as far as you can then use the soft face hammer on the other end of the motor housing to draw the field back in, Note: don't hit the field itself or you will damage it

I had the same prob with my 1985 (years ago). Wrap the shock tubes below the tree with a rag. Then douche the shock tubes on top of the tree with wd-40. Let it sit overnight. I had to use a flat head screw driver to spread the clamp area apart a bit. Then tapped the tree clamp area with a hammer a few times, and then set a pry bar just below the clamp area. Tapped that a few times to break it loose. It has to do with grime locking the upper tubes in place. Oh, and do it on the center stand. It will give you some play.

Left side .use a set of screwdrivers and insert between thehandle chrome ring and thecaliper assembly.gently andevenly pry the stock handle off.If a lot of resistance is felt put a drop of wd 40 and allow to loosen up the adhesive used by the factory.By the t[me you are half way offthe handle should be able to be twisted off. remember to wipe off the wd before installing new handle.. Right side remove philipshead screws on the throttle manacle[control] open it up like a **** and remove throttle cables from handle.the r. handle will now slide off bars

The battery have one frame that adjust and locked the battery to the car; sometimes, in the inferior side have any bolt, just loose it and remove the battery.

Good luck.

The only thing you can really do, is give them a good soaking with WD-40, or similar penetrating oil spray. mabey find something the right size to tap out the pins.

SHUT OFF THE WATER SUPPLY VALVE BEHIND THE SHOWER.THOSE HANDLES ARE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE,SQUIRT WD-40,LET IT SOAK IN,THEN GIVE IT A LITTLE TAP ON THE HANDLE ,BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE IT.IF YOU CAN NOT STILL REMOVE THE HANDLE,THEY SELL A HANDLE PULLER,

most of the times it is because of build up between lift handle and pedestle case use wd-40 and even some heat from a torch to help loosen up stuck handle. also wd-40 the ways on the mixer ped. where the bowl yoke is

WD-40 will not harm the chrome but it you have liquid wrench, it would be better lubricant as WD 40 chemicals are actually a cleaner.

A descaler you need to be careful here. Lime-away or CLR is a popular choice but you need to read the label on chome products.

the handle removal is a metric allen wrench some of the cartridge replacements come with an allen head wrench

I always plug the drains and completely remove the allen head screw then the handle comes off
Sometimes you have to pry it gently or take a hammer wrap a towel around the handle where it meets tthe cartridge base and tap up under the handle lightly and it comes out

God Luck
