How to remove old tap tails

[Jever]

Afternoon all,

One of the tails on my bathroom tap has burst (luckily I was home at the time to deal with it) and so I want to replace the tals with a new pair.

The tap end of the tails goes up into the tap casing, so they're very difficult to unscrew. The thread probably also has calcium deposits sealing the joint.

Is there a trick to unscrewing them or am I better of buying a new tap?

Regards

Jever

They just screw in hand-tight. If it won't budge, then it's probably time for a new tap.

Try some pipe grips, pliers or the like, probably can be done.
