Hudson Reed Crosshead Tec 317 - how to remove tap head and replace cartridge

[ric321]

Does any one know how to remove the tap head to replace the cartridge on a dripping Hudson Reed Crosshead Tec wall mounted tap? This one:

It looks like there's a small grub screw behind the tap head cap but it looks perfectly round and no allen key will bite. It's a little scratched (mainly from me trying to get it off) but I don't think its worn. Like it was round to begin with. Is there a knack to getting this off? I've included a pic.

Thanks.

Is that a cap where the HR is written ?

Thanks for your reply. The pic is a close up of what's underneath the cap (with HR on it). I was expecting a philips or grub screw but this small circular hole doesn't accept an allen key of any size (and i've got them all!).

For anyone with the same issue. The tap is push fit and the head just pulls off away from the collar. You just need to wiggle it up and down as you pull, and give it some force. That then reveals a phillips screw underneath.
