I would like to replace my Symmons Model A Faucet Flow control but I cannot remove it. I unscrewed both visible bolts on each side and a smaller bolt hiding under cover. The handle seems to have frozen to whatever it sits on. Please advise how to remove it. Thank you!

Hi Dima...

These handles can get stuck on there pretty good...

You can try using a HANDLE PULLER... sold at all home supply stores... and see if that works for you.

If that fails, with the symmons model you may simply need to break the handle off and then replace the spindle assembly and install a new handle all together.

To break the handle off just wiggle it up and down... it will break off at a slotted area on the stem assembly.

Try the handle puller... let us know how you make out.. OK?
