Lee,
I believe you will have to get the handle off to get to the retaining nut. I
would use something like the product called super Blaster. Just spray it on
and let it set over night. Or try soaking a rag with Coke and lay it on the
handle for a few hours, some times that works.

the part I am having now R J is that handle is not just coming off.
not sure if it is because of the hard water that set up the faucet or
not. there is plenty of room underneath it to pry but..

Turn off the water to the faucet. Remove the screw that holds the handle.
Remove the handle. There should be a retaining nut under the handle. Remove it.
You might need to pry up on the stem to get it out of the casing. I use to
replace the handle back on the stem, put the screw back on and tap gently to
get the stem loose, if I had to.

Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
