 i unwound the tap and pulled the flange toward the tap  head but there is no room to get a shifter in there to remove the spindle.

Re: How to remove bath tap?

Hello @rob88 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about removing your bath taps.

 

You have what is known as a skirt fixed handle. I propose giving this method a try. Hold the top plastic handle steady with one hand. Place your other hand on the silver skirt under the plastic handle. Keeping the plastic top steady, turn the silver skirt anti-clockwise. If the skirt moves and makes it tighter go in the other direction.

 

Once the skirt comes loose you should be able to remove the handle from the spindle. Please make sure to keep all the small parts together to prevent them from sliding into the bath waste.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 

Eric
