This is exactly what I needed I attempted the same job a couple of months ago, but when I couldn’t remove the handle, I gave up Yesterday I bought silicone grease for my pond pump fittings, and got inspired to take another swing at the faucet I had use some “persuasion” on the handle (I’m 99 lbs) but the shroud was impossible With your help I was able to fix something that’s been bothering me for some time now Thanks a million!

Does the water supply need to be switched off before removing the cartridge?
Comment from : guitarist100

You don't need to remove the hex screw, just loosen it
Comment from : Gib Bogle

看了这么多，你讲的最好。我现在是喷了很多WD-40,等了很久依然无法拿下那个圈。或许我还需要更强效除锈剂和strap wrench。否则就只好换个新龙头。😢

Thanks for this Needed to watch this to give me the push to change minei thought it was a tap replacement job for surebrbrLuckily everything came off really easily for me The chrome shroud was plastic and it came of super easybrbrIf people don't have the strap wrench I would recommend the watchkeepers technique for cashback removal Wear grippy washing up gloves and open by hand

Fantastic! We have exactly that tap, boy am I glad I found this video It will be so useful if/when I have to replace the cartridge, thank you so much There's no such thing as a 5-minute job
Comment from : Don Judge

Very useful video👍🏾
Comment from : Vincent Masuka

Very helpful My shroud was difficult to remove - even with strap wrench I got some zinc oxide cloth sticking plaster and stuck it around the shroud That gave me enough grip to remove it by hand Even if I had needed the wrench, it would have had much better grip than without the plaster
Comment from : Peter Zivanovic

Hi Sir I need your help Will a damaged cartridge cause the water to stop flowing ?
Comment from : Sean Pather

Cheers bud, I'll sort my cloaks tap tomorrow 👍
Comment from : MrT

I cannot remove the grub screw as the centre of it is burned into a round hole Can’t get it to work with either an Alan key or a small screwdriver How to get it out? Tap is leaking badly Tks
Comment from : andrew gray

Amazing super like 👍 like 👍 blessings to you 💕😘
Comment from : Juliet

Great video brOne word of warning from my experience If you’re NOT replacing the cartridge but perhaps you want to simply replace the handle on the tap, avoid spraying WD40 around the top of the cartridge I did this on two taps and the WD40 (once the new one was fitted) made the handle stiff and squeaky and I had to replace two perfectly working cartridges I know you would expect WD40 to lubricate but it seemed to have the opposite effect on moving plastic parts
Comment from : John Knight

I bet the new tap when you turned the new hot water I bet it was very very fire hot
Comment from : Ben McDonald

Put a plug or otherwise block the drain before you start I once dropped that little screw into the drain and its very easy to do Took me twice as long to finish the job! Thanks for the bit at the end showing how you separated the two parts btw Nicely made video
Comment from : Chris I

Sounds like it would be a good idea to get a couple of spare seals when you buy a new tap (if the seal was the only source of this leak)
Comment from : Juksemakeren

Excellent! A real one without preparation Now I can go and hopefully save our church hall £150 Plumber didn’t turn up to do it
Comment from : Terrys Travels!

Can you use Vaseline instead of silicone grease?
Comment from : thechosen

Best video Many thanks i have just opened mine with video help Many Many thanks
Comment from : Majid Shah

I think these leak either from the gasket on the bottom of the cartridge; or the two flat ceramic discs inside the cartridge have worn so the two mating surfaces are not flat anymore so water leaks between thembrYeah it's easier to buy a new cartridge, but I am interested in how could the two ceramic mating surfaces be lapped flat again
Comment from : Perinne

I really like how you cleaned the components No point dong half a job when you can do it thoroughly Now I know what I can use to clean mine without damaging them Cheers
Comment from : Ivy Poison

Thank you so much for this great video Saved me a lot of money for sure Managed to find the replacement cartridge for less than £500 at screwfix so we'll pleased
Comment from : 8mmfilmfan

Nicely done thank you 👍 My Grohe has a grub screw that needs a security hex bit to remove it, cannot take the top handle off its completely stuck argh! Isn't the '46850000' cartridge either, hate Grohe so much 🤔
Comment from : Thunder Light

Comment from : Eassam Seliaman

the shoulder clips off using a thin paint spatula and after wards undo the brass nut
Comment from : Ramesh Patel

Excellent how to!brHowever does anyone know the size of the large nut? Mine has sloping/rounded edges so a adjusable spanner just slips off!brThinking it needs to be a socket but I don't have anything that big!
Comment from : Gavin Richardson

Amazing

Comment from : hemantha@kandy

Thankyou :) this was really helpful, especially removing that damn collar Thing wouldn't budge but after squirting with penetrant and waiting it came off by hand
Comment from : manticorenettleable

I used 2mm allen/hex key from a set in bunnings But I should've bought the cartridge repair kit, it comes with an allen key, also used a 30mm adjustable wrench to repair a kitchen mixer tapbrRemember bois/gals, you must screw on the nut super tight, have a stream of cold water running to test as you tighten

THANK YOU!
Comment from : Janet P

No way would I mess about with all that hassle I'm just getting a plumber
Comment from : Dianne 88

Isn't it better and quicker to just change the tap as a whole?
Comment from : Imran - A Mumin

We have this tap, how do you know what size cartridge you need, and do I have to buy online, or will old cartridge have size on if I can get it outmany 😊
Comment from : Michelle Neal

Needed to change the cartridge on my tap which I managed to break whilst pushing down the lever a bit too hard in anger Had a spare tap from earlier which came damaged from the bottom but I had kept in the shed as I was too lazy to throw it away brManaged to follow your instructions, took the tap apart and swapped over the cartridge and bam working tap again brFelt like a hero and the wd40 tip was golden brThank you sir for saving me something in the north of £50 and making me feel like a man lol
Comment from : Mister P

Thanks I could get my head around removal until you helped me understand the shroud came off
Comment from : Rare Rob

Hello, so I have a handle that look very identical to the one in this video, but it’s a handle for the shower The handle completely broke due to corrosion The handle came off along with the shroud The inner part of the shroud is stuck and I can’t unscrew it What tool do I need to get to take the inner part of the shroud? Also what is the model of the handle and cartridge?
