Anyone know how to replace this tap insert?
My mono tap is dripping
I replaced lots of mono inserts but I can't see how to remove this one?
Any ideas how to dismantle this type of tap?

Unscrew the chrome sticky-out handle. That, in itself, might then release the rest of the handle, the cone-shaped bit - or you may need to locate a grub screw under the hole left by the first part.Pull off the cone bit.Unscrew the decorative collar - the larger cone bit. That will expose the cartridge.Try and support the tap body with one hand as you unbolt the cartridge. Add a nice smear of sili grease on reassembly.2

I agree with ThisIsWierd. I think I've taken one of them to bits before. The side cones unscrew, but it's likely to need a pair of grips, and some way to protect the chrome surface; dish cloth or similar.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.1
