In my experience, most such handles are made from pot metal/zamac. As such, they can, over a period of years, absorb humidity from the air and actually swell into the brass splines of the valve stem. Yer better off just cutting the handle off if it won't come loose and starting afresh. -MMM- _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
