    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/36335"&gt;@LGC&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It looks like the solution is already on the community! Check out this discussion: &lt;A href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/Bathroom-and-Laundry/How-to-remove-acrylic-tap-handles/td-p/72525" target="_blank"&gt;How to remove acrylic tap handles?&lt;/A&gt; It appears you'll need to hold the tap handle steady and rotate the skirt under it. The treaded skirt is what locks the handle on.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please let me know if that works for you or if you have any questions.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks MitchellMc!&amp;nbsp; Tops are off!&amp;nbsp; Any tips on shifting this plastic son of a b? Will not budge!!&amp;nbsp; Original aim was to just replace the handles. Quick job&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/html/@FBF55675C93DAC60B5D2074E949C3957/emoticons/1f923.png" alt=":rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:" title=":rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="20220708_231830.jpg" style="width: 3000px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/49132i0BFE91F7D758F67D/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="20220708_231830.jpg" alt="20220708_231830.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;That flathead grooved bolt in the top seems pretty suspect &lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/36335"&gt;@LGC&lt;/a&gt;. I believe you need to unscrew it with a flathead screwdriver. It should be a short little screw/bolt that holds the plastic lug in place on the shaft.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;When you start to undo it, it will back the spindle out until it locks at full open. You should then be able to undo the screw. It will likely be seized, so spray a little WD-40 on it before attempting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My favourite tool for these types of operations is a &lt;A href="https://www.bunnings.com.au/stanley-10-x-300mm-standard-tip-screwdriver_p6064723" target="_blank"&gt;screwdriver&lt;/A&gt; with a set of &lt;A href="https://www.bunnings.com.au/trojan-250mm-locking-pliers_p0126917" target="_blank"&gt;locking pliers&lt;/A&gt; attached to the handle. It lets you put your weight down on the screwdriver and use the pliers as a handle. You can apply an incredible amount of force this way.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Let me know how you go.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
