Mixer taps

[jx2mad]

Is there an easy way to fix sticking mixer taps without having to remove half the kitchen plumbing? Jim

You should be able to remove the handle, then the outer dress ring followed by the cartridge retaining nut. Pull the cartridge out and replace it. They're about $10.00 at bunings. Look for a video to lead you through it on you tube.

I wish! I had to get mine from the importer. Bunnings don't stock it.

Mine is not leaking, just tight. Hopefully I can put some Vaseline on it to free it

If you want to lube it only, you'll still have to pull it apart. Get a little tube of silicon grease for tap mechanisms from a plumbing shop.
