Remove the Lever from a single lever mixer tap.

[badgermansix]

Hello,

Can anyone advise me please? I have a - Reginox Zambesi Single Lever Mixer Tap.
This is leaking slightly, above the sink top.
Underneath the Lever is a small plastic plug which I removed expecting to find a locking screw of some sort, however I could see nothing inside except a hole in the "barrel" of the tap which I thought would have taken such a screw.

Can anyone advise me how to remove this lever so that I can look at the washers please?

Thank you

Have another look & check it's not a small Allen screw

keego, thank you for that, I have just looked and it seems that there may well have been an allen screw or something because I think that I can see a thread, but nothing more!
I have browsed the web to see if I can find the construction of this tap so that I know what I am looking for, but no luck...thanks.

If the allen screw has been removed, try pouring boiling water over it and tap it from underneath with a plastic screwdriver handle.

you will see part of the thread some of them screw in quite a way try an allen key (the right size of course)
