Mixer Tap Handle Removal

[epatrickt]

We bought a mixer tap a few years ago and the plastic on the handles has started to crack/fall away. I'm hoping to replace these but am not sure how to remove them. There is no square/hex shaped point to unscrew them so not sure how to set about it. Is it obvious? Hopefully they aren't too far gone to replace, the inside of one looks pretty rusty.

Thanks!

Hi
Unscrew the handle anticlockwise
Where the thread is a screwdriver or Allen key can be seen which will need to be undone.

Might be bonded into the metal, hard to tell, but might be best if you replace the whole lever assembly: https://www.notjusttaps.co.uk/tap-levers-handles.html

Ah that's useful thanks. Getting the lever assembly of though might be where I get stuck! I don't see anything to undo. Would you expect the caps facing outwards on either lever to pop off (with a screwdriver)?

Yes, usually that’s one way they come off. Could try as suggested to remove the handle by unscrewing.

Think I might be stuffed! Thanks for the advice, have got the lever off now (obvious once you've told me!). One of the just crumbled so I need to replace them. They don't look like others I see in the not just taps sure or elsewhere.... Non standard?
