Bath Mixer tap - Cartridge replacement

I have a mixer bath tap. I need to replace the cold side cartridge. I need to remove the tap/hand - cold side. I have taken of the small cap at the back of the tap/handle. I have then undone the small alan key screw. But I cannot for the life of me get the tap/handle to lift off exposing the cartridge. I'm scared of snaping the thing. Any advice

The handle will be stuck by limescale, just keep working at it and it will eventually come loose. Try to get something under it evenly on each side and try to nudge it a little.
