Removing spout from Lamona Hi-Tech monobloc tap

Hi
My Lamona tap TAP3407 is leaking from the bottom of the spout where is swivels. I looked up and it's almost certainly the o rings that need changing.

Ordered spares online but can't for the life of me remove the spout to change them. Seems to be catching on the last o ring.

There are no grub screws or Alan keys etc holding it. I've downloaded a PDF which says it simply pulls up but it won't. I've used a lot of force but it won't budge.

Hoping someone else has had this issue and figured out the solution?

Thanks

Try turning it 90° to one side & lift.

Thanks. Tried every 90 degree position and no joy.

I think you need to remove the collar, looking at a picture of the tap. This video isn't the Lamona but same type

Yes - remove the collar.

Hi did you manage to resolve this as I have exactly the same issue and I cannot remove the spout for love or money!?
Thanks

Have you tried 5 or 7 o'clock position?

Yes - have pretty much tried everything. There’s no grub screw so that’s out. It won’t just pull out and I’ve tried every placement to see if there is a lock position &#55358;&#56616;

You need to remove the collar. Use a pipe wrench or mole grips to do this. You'll need to protect the collar - I cover my tools in electrical tape but you could use a strip of rubber or similar wrapped round the collar. Once the collar is off, the stem can then be lifted out.
