Hello all
I came across this dead thread below and it refers to the question I need to ask.
I have the same type of taps that I need to service. Don't want to force anything so I would like to run this by you all.
I have attached a pic of the taps in question. You can see they are the same as the one in the dead thread.
I have had a good fiddle with them but I want to confirm how they come apart before I get medieaval.
They have a C and H button on the top of the tap.
How do you get these off? There doesn't seem to be any place to fit a pick so that you can prise them off.
So do these prise off or screw off to reveal a screw so that the handle can then be removed?
But even if I do get the handles off I have tried turning the shroud. It turns freely and doesn't seem to be threaded even though it's hex shaped.
But when I lift the shroud I can only lift it a couple of millis. Nowhere near enough to get underneath it.
There seems to be something stopping it from lifting. Is there a special way to do this and get to the underlying valve hex?
Thanks

I can't dismantle these taps.
The taps in our bathroom look like fairly normal ones, but I can't get them apart. I unscrew the index cover and undo the screw underneath, but can't remove the handle. It doesn't seem to be just stuck; it feels really solid and all four taps are the same. The shroud just turns without...
