Dippy tap - can't get cap off to fix
I have a drippy kitchen mixer tap. Looks like the typical sort where usually I'd pop out the coloured dot, remove the holding screw then remove the handle/cap and then access the valve/whatever that part is that actually does the turning on/off of the water to the tap. However, the coloured plastic bit on the side (that covers the screw head) just will not come out. Anyone got any tips before I resort to destroying it entirely?
Re: Dippy tap - can't get cap off to fix
isn't there a sort of tap where the end twiddly bit isn't connected like that, but you have to rotate it 90/180deg and there a grub screw holding it on instead, sideways.?
can kinda see it on this random google pic. the bit marked 1, shows grubby going sideways not endways.

youll have to turn water off entirely though, cus it'll be on full blast to get to it.
and if your going to plumbers merchants, you'll need take the valve bit and end cap, so they can check both fit and are correct size. :innocent:
