Peerless shower, Help Please, shower valve handle stuck, trying to replace cartridge

[Jeff Boshet]

The trim says this is a peerless valve, but it does not have the set screw on the side of the handle, it has the screw directly in the end of the handle which I removed.

I am unable to remove the handle to get to the cartridge...

Helllllllp.... please...

Do I need a puller device to pull it off if it is corroded in place?
I think I'll need to go to the hardware store tomorrow to buy a shower handle puller.
I think it is simply corroded in place

If the only thing holding the handle was the screw, then maybe a puller. And a little rocking.

Are we looking at something like this?

The puller did the trick. It was simply corroded in place.
