Hi,
First time poster with what I'm sure is a simple problem.
Having trouble working out how these taps come off so I can replace the valve seal.
I have removed the small threaded brass spindle that seems to spread the split plastic collet when its in place. I assumed once this was out I would be able to pull the tap handle off the stem but there seems to be a lot of resistance still and I am worried about applying force or leverage until I know if this all that is required or if there is something else to remove/loosen first.
Dont know the brand of fitting but it is likely Australian and about 15 years old. Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.
cheers Greg
