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

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.


It's prbably pre-internet. I can't find it there, nor the logo on the
tap top looking like an offset T inside an O. I take it you've already
tried rotating the spout while at the same time keeping it pulled up
until it finds its slot?

Yes, tried that, I can feel some sort of a notch effect but nothing
100% positive. But (in answer to others) I am 95ish% positive that
there is no grub screw, of any sort. Slot Posi or hex.


TMH said that he once had a spout which unscrewed when turned. You
can't do that because it's against the wall, so you would have to
completely remove the whole assembly to try it.
