I have removed the top of the tap and would appreciate advice as to how to remove the rest to be able to replace the ceramic core (quarter turn). The picture shows the top on the right of the picture alongside the tap. The top carries a threaded centre (difficult to see) and seems to hold the 'barrel', in place.
There seems to be a threaded sleeve in the centre of the tap which itself screws into the core but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to put a screwdriver to remove this.
Having got this far, is the outside of the tap (barrel?) simply prised off or is there something else to be undone/ removed?
The tap is quite old but has now become very stiff and core replacement will I hope cure this-I have tried repeated opening and closing but it doesn't make much difference. It doesn't leak.
Any help much appreciated.
