    How to remove a Moen single turn handle
    I could not get the set screw out of a Moen bath tub single turn handle with an allen wrench. I drilled it out with 5/32 bit follow by a 7/32 bit. The drill bit went through and out the other side. Moen handle will not come off. What is holding the handle on faucet?

    Try rocking the handle, you may have drilled out the set screw but metal burs could be holding it. Rock it or use a handle puller. AceŽ Faucet Handle Remover / Puller - Plumbing Tools - Ace Hardware
