Bill,
Before you try a acid, use white vinegar and take a headless nail and clean
out the holes in the bowl. Than add some CLR to the tank water before
flushing. Than about once or twice a week add a 1/4 cup of bleach to the tank.
Use to do this in my rentals

Installed these in several places over the years and never had one fail.

The advantage
There is some kind of epoxy for cement that the contractor put on my son's
house that not only sealed the cracks, but stop the water leak.
I would call a supply store and ask about what they have.

. 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.

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.
