How do I remove the temperature handle from the thermostatic shower cartridge?

Hi all,

I've been stuck on this one for a while and there doesn't seem to be an obvious solution. Our shower has a Type 6 shower cartridge which can be found at the link below. I have ordered a new cartridge and have been able to remove the old one from the shower. The problem that I now face is trying to remove the shower temperature handle from the old cartridge so that I can attach the temperature handle to the new shower cartridge. The old cartridge appears to be fixed to temperature handle, it will not budge and there is no obvious way of unscrewing it from the handle. Please see the attached photo. Any suggestions on how to remove the shower cartridge from the handle would be much appreciated.

    sure wish i could figure the brand.  most of them have a setscrew that uses an allen wrench.  a few have a retaining clip of some sort
