Default Remove Tub Faucet Handles

I wonder if you can build something like a gear puller, or
steering wheel puller? Put some mechanical advantage on em?

We have a dripping bathtub faucet. This is a conventional
two valve faucet
with stems sticking straight out of the wall, about 50 years
old. It's
probably just a simple matter of replacing the washers but I
have to get
the handles off to do that. They may not have been off in a
half century
and naturally they don't want to budge. Any ideas? Bag
them with a
solution of CLR?

I suppose if worse comes to worse I can cut them with Dremel
cutting wheel
and replace them.
