Forgive my ignorance, my kitchen tap is dripping and from what I read online, a new washer is most likely needed.
I think it's the hot water tap head/disc because when I switch off the hot water supply from underneath the sink the drippage stops.
My problem is that I have yet been able to figure out how to remove the cap/disc whatever you call that allows you to turn on the tap.
I managed to go as far as the pictures show below, but it's very unclear to me how to remove the entire cap.
What I did was unscrew the little silver thing. Inside there's a screw which is easily removed with an Allen Key. I would have thought that by then, the whole cap would come off allowing me to access the bit where I'd have to replace the washer or give me more insight as to how to proceed.
At the moment I'm stuck and I dont know how to remove the entire thing.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks
