Hi,
I have the Kohler "Purist® Rite-Temp® pressure-balancing bath and
shower faucet trim with push-button diverter and cross handle". I need
help removing the handle and faceplate. There is no center screw in
the handle, but set screw on the handle stem which I assume holds the
handle in place. My set screw is missing but I still cannot remove the
handle. Can anyone help?

Corrosion of the stem can make it difficult to remove the handle. Hard
water?

Yes, hard water. The faucet has only been in for 6 months though. Can
I try to bang it off?
