How to remove cartridge from tap?

JohnSwift10

I have this tap in my kitchen and it is dripping but when I tried to take the spindle off there is no screw just a small bump..




How do I get it off?

Unscrew the tap lever - there's likely to be a screw you can remove with an Allen key.

If not, try at the back of each of the handles.

As above, the tape lever should unscrew.

Do you know the make/model of the tap?

As above there are two possibilities.

I can't see a plastic cap on the side of the taps so there must be a grub screw inside the tap lever or, more likely in my opinion, on the bottom of the tap opposite the lever.

Use your finger to check for a hole or use a mirror to check the latter. If it is not there then the lever must unscrew to reveal the grub screw.

There is a small possibility that the taps pull off sideways with just a friction fit but that is unlikely.

It is a Magnet Kitchen Norrie tap

Any suggestions as to getting the lever off?

Iv'e tried gripping it with pliers but I can't budge it.

My 75 year old hands must not be strong enough

Wrap a cloth around the stem and use pliers with a gentle grip

They don't always have removable levers.

They usually have plastic covers that you pry off eith a screw driver then a small screw to hold in the cartridge.

A small screwdriver where the red or blue circle is, is where you pry it off from.

unscrew the little bars then they might come off....
