I need to replace the O rings on a mixer tap.Â* It has no grub screw
securing the spout so I understand that the spout needs to be in this

Is it always this direction or might it be over the other tap?

How critical is the position +/-5 degs or +/- 45 degs.

Any tips for determining when it is in the correct position?

And once in the correct position any tips for actually removing it?
It sort of "wobbles" but resists all attempts to pull it vertically.

Thanks.


I shall watch this with interest, as I have the same problem. I didn't
know about the 'correct angle', though, it might of course be different
on my taps. If only I knew what brand the assembly is!

And mine had the remains of a metal collar under the external nut,

External nut?

Â*its
removal has done nothing to improve or worsen the effect.



Once in the last 14 years of handymanning I've come across a spout that
unscrews.
Rented property, spout kept leaking. Sink was in front of a windowsill,
so nothing to stop it turning 360 degrees.
Turned out the 8 year old little **** of a son played with it by
spinning it round.
