Hi peeps.
I have a leaky tap which seems to be leaking a little through the base of the tap into the space under the sink. It's a Bristan Java mixer with pop-up waste. Underneath the lever is a hemispherical chrome thing that screws into the shank of the tap but has come unscrewed, and I wondered if that might be the cause. So I took out the grub screw under the lever, imagining that the lever would then lift off but it doesn't and I can't see any other way of accessing the bits underneath to replace/tighten/seal them.
Of course in attempting to replace the grub screw I dropped it inside the tap
Is it just that the tap lever is stiff, so I can give it a whack to get it off, or is there another fixing device I haven't found? Nothing useful on the web from Bristan.
Obviously getting some access to retrieve the darned screw would be nice too. Eyebrow tweezers don't quite reach.....
