Water has started leaking out of my shower handle. You can see it here in this picture. I would like to replace the cartridge but I can't get the handle off. https://i.imgur.com/Icq2PCx.jpeg
I removed the skinny portion of the lever and found the set screw behind it. This diagram appears to be my shower handle or one very similar. https://media.deltafaucet.com/MandI/42489RevB.pdf
After I removed the set screw I cannot slide the rest of the handle assembly off. I've tried rocking side to side and up and down. Is there a step I'm missing or do I need to spray it with PB blaster and wait?

I’m just probing this subreddit because I can’t seem to find any videos or articles online. But I really hate this dual handle shower lever - and couldn’t care less about controlling the water pressure. I want to replace it with just a standard delta shower lever.
I’m researching the current model, and the tear down looks completely different than the delta lever I replaced in my other shower. Before I start taking it apart - I just wanted to make sure this was even possible? Or is the pipe/valve only compatible with this type of lever system?
