HI Folks
We had a lever-operated kitchen kitchen sink mixer tap fitted about four
years ago - in the past few months it's started dripping.
It has quarter-turn levers - I'm guessing that these operate ceramic valves?

If so - does anybody have experience of obtaining replacement valves,
and how are they fitted. I'm expecting that the lever is held on by a
screw, under the end-cover - but how do you get the conical cover off
without damaging the chrome?

WD40 & luck! Strap wrench? Or find spares & get the mole grips
out. Put new ones on with coppaslip on threads.

Thanks Jim.
I think I have a strap wrench somewhere... that would be kinder than
mole grips g

WD40, grease & copper powder in the drinking water too.

Knobhead, we're talking about the covers over the valves...

Sstf ;-)
