Single mixer tap - how to remove lever

[tambini87]

Morning, I have a single lever mixer tap and I need to replace the cartridge to fix a drip.

I've attached some photos but I can't see any screws or nuts so I can remove the lever. Anyone has any ideas how to remove it please ?

If it's anything like mine the joystick lever you waggle around will unscrew, then the rest of any big washer shaped things lift off if they aren't attached to the lever, or unscrew revealing the cartridge

You might be able to get a spanner on the visible nut there as is, if it's a slim enough spanner, but you would be well advised to hold the tap body before applying turning force to the spanner , to prevent the whole thing from turning and potentially damaging pipework below the sink
