It's a North American Handle, I can'get it loose. Does American Standard make one? I can't remember which one. Please send information for both.
Thank you

You can buy a simple wheel puller to do the job, or make one.

All good answers. The handle is simply stuck on.
You could try a little WD-40 to loosen it, but whether vinegar or oil, make sure it gets into the stem to dissolve the residue.

buy a can of PB Blaster, you'll find it usually wherever wd-40 is. it's the best penetrating oil i've ever used. use the red plastic needle extender and spray right into the thread hole, as well as behind and into the inside of the handle.

Soak a rag in vinegar, wrap it around the handle and let it sit a while. Probably mineral/calcium deposits holding it on.

What you need is a faucet handle puller.....Available at any hardware store......After everything you try doesn't work, try it you'll be amazed how easy it is.......
