kitchen mixer tap

[Alex1983]

hi i have been asked to fix a mixer tap in a friends kitchen that is leaking at the swivel base could anyone help in the best way to do this as i have never done this. also do i have to isolate the supply or just make sure the taps are turned off please help.

just turn the taps off

if its a deck mixer the spout is sealed with 2 "o" rings

it will either go to one side and pull out or there is a grub screw at the back
