Charlie G Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I will have to remove the escutcheon ( the oval piece that spins freely on the handle) from the handle to be plated. The post is staked and I can remove it but not sure the best way. Has anyone had to plate one of these handles? Charlie G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Remove this washer and you have a spring inside this too.Then you can have it plated. Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Rawling Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 To re assemble it after I grind of the swejged part or staked part, I drill a hole for a small roll pin to hold the cup washer on the square shaft. Fred Rawling, Bellflower, Ca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie G Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 Well, now that I have removed the washer, there was no spring inside. Instead there were washers or spacers that came out ok. The escutcheon is still not able to be removed. What it looks like to me is a cast piece of metal pressed on that has to be removed. I tried tapping it with a chisel and a chunk of it came off but did not move otherwise. But it has to come off before I can send it to the plating business. Any ideas before I chisel it off? Thanks.

Mark Shaw Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I suggest you make an adapter to support the piece you want to remove & use a press to force the handle out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
