OK, I did as I was told. I undid the bolt with the tube spanners and hacksawed the old tap off. Then I connected up the new one. All went well. Before I went the whole hog trying to replace the tap, the wife suggested just changing the cartridge on the old one. For a laugh I took the...

Hi All, I want to replace this leaking tap with this new tap and I'm wondering how to get the old tap out. I've got a tube spanner to get at the nut but am worried out where to separate the pipes. Those isolators look like a good place but they look like they're single use press...
