how can I remove a shower mira8 brass cover plate which is scaled up

[Satman29]

Hi, I have just tried to repair a very old Mira 8 shower unit. However, when trying to remove the brass cover plate it's completely scaled up and it won't budge any ideas on how to free it up. We did think about trying to heat up the bass cover plate but we are concerned about the silver outer metal distorting under heat so decided it wouldn't be a good idea.. So if you have any advice I would be truly grateful
regards
Dave

You cannot get a repair kit for Mira8 anymore so you may be out of luck- probably time to replace.
If you do find a source for them, please pass it on…
