The chrome has come off the handle so I bought a new length of pipe to replace. I have removed the handle but I can't figure out how to free the pipe from the two retaining brackets. One end spins the othe end is fixed.
To dismantle a Rangemaster cooker handle, you can follow these general steps:
1. Turn off the power supply to the cooker and unplug it from the wall.
2. Locate the fixing screws that secure the handle to the cooker. These are usually located on the inside of the door or drawer.
3. Use a screwdriver appropriate for the screw type (usually Phillips or flathead) to unscrew the fixing screws. Place the screws in a safe place so they don't get lost.
4. Once the screws are removed, gently pull the handle away from the cooker. Be careful not to force it or use excessive pressure, as it may cause damage.
5. If the handle is still not coming off, double-check for any hidden screws or clips that may be holding it in place. Some models may require additional disassembly steps.
6. Once you have removed the handle, you can clean, repair, or replace it as necessary.
7. To reassemble, reverse the steps above, ensuring that the handle is properly aligned and securely fastened with the fixing screws.
Note: Different models of Rangemaster cookers may have slightly different disassembly methods, so it's always a good idea to consult the user manual specific to your model for detailed instructions.
The pipe should just pull out of the brackets. Spin the bracket whilst pulling away from the pipe..
That's what I thought but it will not budge . I have removed the other handle and that is the same.

That's what I thought, but that does not work.
It is how mine came off, they may well have been machine pressed in tight or changed the design so you have to buy the part from them. There is nothing like a grub screw in the handle bracket that may be holding the pipe? If you heat the bracket would the finish on it be ruined?
Just found this forum because of same problem. Mine was severely scratched along top of rail. I couldn’t find any answers but could find a replacement so decided to “ disassemble or destroy”. Anyway I used an adjustable spanner (wrench) opened it to fit around tube and lined it with rag to protect tube and bracket from further scratches, hooked spinning end over bench top then used an hammer on the spanner at the other end to knock the bracket off (improvised slide hammer) the bracket moved enough for me to turn tube so the scratches are on the bottom which is all I needed. If I need to replace the tube at any point I will have no hesitation using the same method. After weeks of polishing and tracking down replacement part (expensive) the job took less than five minutes.
