Mixer tap leaking from the bottom of the spout.

Advice received; remove the grub screw from the back
of the base and the spout will lift out. Replace the
O-ring and bob's your uncle ... a 5 minute job.

Well the grub screw is out, but the spout will not lift
and is making squeaking noises.

Any clues or help out there, plese?

Did mine recently. WD40 and lots of force. They tend to build up a
corrosion ridge that stops it coming off. The good news was I had a
suitable O ring in my selection box. And it no longer leaks.

I've just posted that I've never found a useful one in my box of O
rings. Well done, you!
