Faucet puller?

We found one video that showed some sort of faucet pull. My husband said, it would not work with our handle. Maybe there are other kinds? I will look into that. Thank you.

A Mat. We found this style of faucet puller, but it is designed for handles that have a screw in the center. The screw on ours was on the side. Do you happen to know of other designs.

My husband thinks that when he had to drill out the stripped screw it may have led to more damage. Is there anyway to cut the handle off, without having to damage the iBox?

The hangrohe iBox contains only the rough-in valve.

Even if you're able to get the handle off, won't you have to replace the valve trim/diverter/handles with a model such as the hansgrohe 04447000 Ecostat Pressure Balanced Valve Trim Only with Integrated Diverter for 2 Distinct Functions? If so, you can just cut off the escutcheon.

We were unable to get the handle off. We have tried everything. We ended up sawing it off. We were able to find a replacement Hansgrohe trim kit on clearance. Lesson learned, take your handles off once in a while and soak them in vinegar/water to reduce calcium build up. Wish we had done the same. @WDCcruise If we were able to get the handle off (which we could not) why would we have had to replace the tirm kit? The old trim kit was Hansgrohe to go with the IBox. We have reordered a similar Hansgrohe one. I must be missing something.

"If we were able to get the handle off (which we could not) why would we have had to replace the tirm kit?"

You wrote that you couldn't remove the diverter handle. Since you couldn't, you had to replace the trim kit. I suggested cutting the escutcheon so you could remove the trim kit without removing the stuck handle.

@wdccruise. Thanks for clarifying. I was worried, that what we ordered (which was like what we removed) was not going to work. I think we are good, and just a bit poorer in having to replace the trim kit.
