Need backing to thieve out a Shower/Tub Diverter? I have fixed the shower Valves and Diverter alot of times...

I have fixed the shower Valves and Diverter alot of times but this time it is different. I took past its sell-by date handle chrome deco and consequently took off the first nut. It is a nut next to a washer type piece attached , and it doesn't slide off the touch since the handle have a sleeve on it to make it to big for the nut to come sour, so i can't get to the subsequent nut. I think it should newly slide out now but won't . i even put a stretch out end wrench around it pliers lower than the wrench kinda like a lever. Tried to push it out consequently hit the wrench with a sledge hammer also to see if it would slide out with no luck at adjectives. When i look to see what is holding it up from coming out , All i see is rubber around the handle inside. and it looks approaching the next nut isn't needed to catch it out. and no way to carry the next socket on the subsequent nut because of the brass nut/washer combo since it is to big.
Thank you everyone in finance for your help
