Removing the handle to fix leaking mixer tap

I've looked online and at various videos for mixer tap cartridge replacement. My tap handle pictured does not appear to have a grub screw. Is there anyway to remove the handle so I can replace the cartridge?

 

Also tap specifications are

Watermark 

AS/NZS 3718

C of C 216C8

21007

Does this help with knowing the cartridge replacement type?

 

Thanks

Re: How to fix leaking mixer tap?

Hello @lenron 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your mixer tap.

 

I suggest having a look at this discussion - Solved: How to replace cartridge on Mondella sink mixer tap by @Kwongk. If you keep scrolling down the discussion, I showed Kwongk how to remove the spindle handle and access the grub screw inside. I suspect it is the same with your tapware the thin rod handle must be removed so that you can get access to the grub screw that is underneath it. Once you've removed the tap handle you can now access the brass locking nut and remove the old cartridge. I suggest bringing it with you to compare with the ones available at the store. This will guarantee that the cartridge you pick will fit your tap mixer. 

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
