If I remember there is a pin that holds the handle onto the square shaft. If you get the pin out, remove the handle then you should be able to remove the square shaft with the piece it's rsusted too. Put it in a vice and have at it. Let us know if it works.

Also, if you can't get it that way. If your using a "garage door" handle the shafts are the same diameter, lenghts are different. Just remove new handle from new shaft and place new handle on old shaft. Just an idea, I know you probably want to replace all that crud while your in there.
