I have a Moen Moentrol shower body installed ~1993. I need to expose the shower body to repair or replace the balancing spool. I was able to remove the outside portion of the chrome handle. Below that is a brass colored part that attaches directly to the water cartridge via set screw. The set screw was removed but I cannot loosen the part. I cannot get the escutcheon off unless this part is removed. I'm sure it is related to the years of lime deposited. I tried squirting vinegar and waiting with no success. Moens only recommendation was to cut it off. A bit too drastic at this point.
Any suggestions??
