Hello Torben. First you unscrew the chrome activating button very slowly to release the tension of the spring seated behind the chrome button . Following the spring there should be a backing plate shaped like a washer. This should fall our quite easily. Now unscrew the handle. John

Hi again

Thanks guys.
I didn't realise that I had to first remove the release button. After doing that the handle came off easily.
