Doesn't look like anything is holding the handle on other than the grub screw:

Need to replace a kitchen tap cartridge as I think it’s causing vibrations when hot water is being used (not certain!)
But I can’t get the tap handle off. It’s a Franke Ancona or similar https://www.screwfix.com/p/franke-ascona-sink-mounted-mono-mixer-kitchen-tap-chrome/77255?kpid=77255&cm_mmc=Google-_-Datafeed-_-Bathrooms%20and%20Kitchens?kpid=KINASEKPID&cm_mmc=Google-_-TOKEN1-_-TOKEN2&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIidH4iO-YhAMVapJoCR02ZguSEAQYCiABEgIx9_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
I can undo the spout grub screw and then the handle grub screw, the handle slides about 10mm then stops. Do I force it? Not sure how it’s stuck but I’ve given it as much force as I felt was safe. Any ideas?
