I've tried the usual Google and read my Collins DIY bible but can't find the answer, so I'm calling on the forum yet again for help.
My 15 year old bathroom taps are dripping. New washer time? After I pop off the plastic handle it looks as if I have a traditional pillar tap like this:
so I tried to undo the headgear nut with an adjustable spanner, but I'm beginning to round off the nut or simply rotate the whole tap assembly. The nut looks to be copper and is oxidized (green). So I presume the rust has bonded the central mechanism to the housing?
Can any one recommend a releasing agent. eg. WD40?
and is there a more suitable tool than an adjustable spanner?
Many thanks.
