How to change the washer of leaking tap?

Question

Hi @gulvir,

The C and H buttons on the front of the tap are a cover. You can see there is a hex head around them in the chrome. To remove the cover, I am assuming based on this fact that you need to rotate them counterclockwise, using this chrome hex head to grip them, to remove the caps.

You should be able to use a tap spanner or adjustable spanner to do this. Once those covers are off, you should be able to simply pull the tap handle off.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
