Hi,
I need to replace a few tap heads that have become a bit "tired". One for a sink and one for a bath. The tap operation (to date) has been fine. I have had the tap heads off before and they have (what I guess is) a standard brass (?) rod with vertical grooves (splines?) on to which the tap head slides and is held by a small screw.
I have taken the screw out of the tap head, but because (I guess) I live in a hard water area, the tap head has "stuck" on to the brass pillar. Will WD40 do any good to free the tap head or do I need to hit the head underneath (it does not matter if the plastic head gets damaged) with a hammer, or even "split" the tap using a wood chisel?
Thanks
Clive
