Dripping wall mounted tap.. can't see how to access washer

[buckmoy]

Hello all

I have a dripping hot tap in a bathroom. Hard water area so am guessing limescale.

I can't see how to open up the tap to have a look.

I was expecting an allen key screw underneath somewhere to enable the housing to be removed, but there isn't one there.

The tap is solid - I can't pull it "forward" to expose more tap. There is a fascia ring thing which comes off easily (is removed on left(hot) tap in pic), and (EDIT) I have been able to get the rear most sleeve unscrewed but it doesn't help me.

I think they are from about 2004 ish.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

buckmoy,taps vary so is there is there a possibility of some clear focused photos of the tap,showing top,sides,front and the backside

other info request is .do you have tools to do basic plumbing repairs

Thanks @Old&Cold!

Here are some more pics. One tap is partially dissembled, the other not, to aid in tap identification..

Yes I have most tools

There are no pictures.

Add some by copy/paste into the reply box, or drag them into the reply box.

Oh. There are pictures (and there were some in the first post - @Old&Cold 's first reply now makes sense if they aren't visible). I can see them on the desktop / chrome version of the forum but not on my iphone... will try and see if I can fix pic view

Hopefully below now are some pictures (used drag and drop instead of forum's media function)

@Old&Cold , or anyone, any idea what these are? Thanks!

 

[buckmoy]

OK. Think I may have a problem.. parts A and B in the pic below both unscrew. If I unscrew B only, I get to see C, which looks to the cartridge. Problem is, gap to access is only about 1mm when B is horizontal (in pic below B is tilted forwards by as much as it will go, exposes about 3mm)

Any ideas other than cut off B?

Or get super thin spanner (looks to be about 18mm?)

Thanks

Is there not a grub screw underneath the handle?

 

[buckmoy]

No, there is no grub screw
