Grohe Eurodisk

OK, so I've been trying to remove the handle of a Grohe Eurodisk kitchen faucet in order to clean out a clogged cartridge -- but despite me doing everything right, and despite half an hour of effort, it refuses to come off! Is the handle in this faucet really non-removable, or is it just jammed in place for some reason? 2601:646:8E01:7E0B:8115:EFB1:83C0:5101 (talk) 06:27, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OR: These cartridges fit extremely tightly, whatever the manufacturer. Use a rubber mallet, some suitable levers and a choice selection of 4-letter words. Even then it will take quite a bit of effort until the cartridge slides off. --Cookatoo.ergo.ZooM (talk) 11:43, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In my case it's not the cartridge, it's the handle -- I removed the set screw as required, but the handle won't come off! 2601:646:8E01:7E0B:8115:EFB1:83C0:5101 (talk) 14:07, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Grohe has a section on their website "for professionals" that includes video tutorials, etc. (here). —2606:A000:4C0C:E200:7150:E613:78D3:42AE (talk) 18:55, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see no video tutorials on repairing kitchen faucets here! 2601:646:8E01:7E0B:8115:EFB1:83C0:5101 (talk) 06:14, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If all else fails, use a gear puller. -Arch dude (talk) 03:42, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
