How to fix dripping leaking mixer tap

Was feeling apprehensive about doing it myself but you made it soo simple. Thankyou for encouraging me to give it a go. Job done😊

I had the same issue as a few others below where I couldn’t get the handle off. Don’t underestimate just how sticky this can get. In all the videos it just slides right off, but this step can actually be a lot of work. I had actually screwed the little screw right off with the Allen key and it had fallen into the inside of the tap and it still wouldn’t come off. I was bouncing back and forth between wondering if I’d really got the screw off and thinking that maybe my tap was different than the ones in the videos in some way. The comments below encouraged me to just use more force which did actually work. For anyone wondering, I used WD40 and a LOT of force. I thought I might even break it but was beyond caring! By moving the handle from side to side with considerable force it popped off after about a minute. I replaced the cartridge with one I picked up so Bunnings for 20 bucks and it’s working perfectly. Hope this helps anyone else struggling with that first step.

Had to get the multipliers around the tap handle, with a soft cloth not to scratch it, to get it off. Felt like it was welded on after 11 years of gunk buildup inside there. Thanks for the to-the-point video 👍👌

Awesome very informative great job demonstrated.🎉

Fair dinkum Bill all these little tips go straight into the brain-pan and when I'm called on for minor repairs by my grown kids, the grandkids ask, "Hey Grandad, how come you can fix anything?" "Because I'm a genius that's why."

Great presentation, Bill. Bring on the drips! 👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks Bill, no need to get my plumbers licence now!
