X-No-Archive: Yes Trying to change washers on a mixer tap.
Unscrewing the tap cover, I was expecting to see a screw there isn't one.
Please see this website where I've put a picture up, of teh tap without the cover on.
better.
could try two small screwdrivers held firm and parallel in the slots by mole grips or pliers, while a second person applies an adjustable spanner and turns the screwdrivers anti-clockwise. If that doesn't work and the screwdrivers slip or bend then you could try using a larger stronger flat blade screwdriver with the centre of the blade cut or filed out so that it sits on either side of the stud with the blade in the slots.
It's hard to tell with it being out of focus, but could it have a circlip on there ?
Sorry best my camera could do.
Its four slots in the shape of Cross around the stud. Isn't there a tool for this?
thanks
Hi just updated the picture.
It looks as if you can just keep turning it until it comes off - this doesn't work..

Do you know anybody with a security bit set like this
HTH

It requires a bifurcated screwdriver. Grab an old, wide screwdriver, & file/saw the middle out of the blade to clear the screw thread. Then unscrew & remove tap in usual manner.
But try undoing it with good snipe nosed pliers first - that often works. Or if you have circlip pliers, try to engage the nose of the pliers onto the slots & turn (not good for the pliers, though)
Really? wow, I wonder how bad the first one was.
Use the Macro focus function on your Canon PowerShot A70, before taking the shot. It's probably the button at bottom right, with a picture of what looks like a tulip by it.
I'll get some snipe nosed pliers and give it a go. Don't facing trying to cut into the metal of an old screw driver to make into a "bifurcated" - btw I love that term :-)
Thanks
file?
Thats a neat trick. Pls tell
Probably easier than I managed it, which was to save locally, then right click on the jpg, file properties, "Summary" tab, hit "advanced".
It's all embedded within the file.
cheers, clive
Your camera writes the information into the JPEG file, so it records the aperture, exposure value, camera type, focal length and some other stuff.
We'll be spending money on your credit cards later today.
BTW, it's possible to tell that your camera clock is set incorrectly.
I'm not absolutely certain that's the right name for them, but you obviously got the drift of what I meant :)
