Dismantling basin tap

[The Gaz]

Hi all
I have a sticking basin lever tap. I’m trying to take it apart to see if I can sort it, potentially replace the cartridge. I’ve got to the point where I believe I’m meant to remove the copper part of the tap in the picture, however it’s a circular bit that I can’t grip with anything. All the inline videos make it out to be hexagonal which mine isn’t. I’ve included a pic of the type of tap it is and the stage I have got to. Really hope someone can advise me.
Cheers
The Gaz

Have a look ar roca touch removal tool probably sort of thing you need.
Or make your own with bit of steel plate and a angle grinder?

Would a long reach screwdriver work across the 2 points?

 

[The Gaz]

Unfortunately not, the bit in the middle gets in the way

I can take it then it doesn’t move? Some do, some don’t.

No sadly no movement at all.
