I have a leaking tap/faucet in my kitchen. I am trying to do the following:
(1) tighten it see if the leak stops or (2) change the washers.
I have looked at videos on youtube how to do this and they show different type of taps/faucet. In one video they show changing the washer with spanner and in another video using Allen key to get to the washer. However on my I am unable to get to the washer.
I thought I can access washer by taking of the very small plastic cover on the tap. I anticipated that once the red plastic cover is taken off (picture attached), then I will be able to access the washer, perhaps by taking of a screw with flat blade screw driver. However I am unable to take off the plastic. How else can I tighten the tap to stop the leak or change the washer to stop the leak?
