How do I unscrew a wall mounted faucet?

How do I unscrew a wall mounted faucet?

This huge leaking faucet can't be unscrewed as it hits the window, and can't be unscrewed off the wall as it will hit the basin. What do I need to do here?

Good afternoon Fraser. @fraser 

 

Could be my eyes - but there appears to be an allen key grub screw on the right.

Remove it (don't lose it).

The spout should now pull off in the vertical frame.

O-rings should be present and most likely worn - they will need to be replaced, assuming it's leaking from the swivel joint.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @fraser. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about removing a tap spout.

 

As @Noyade has pointed out, this spout doesn't unscrew but is held together with a grub screw. Remove the screw and pull the spout straight upwards out of the lower fitting.

Please let me know if you have any questions and how you go.
