The washing machine tap on the tub leaks so needs a new washer, we took off the plastic knob but are unable to undo the nut with a crescent, does this have to be done at the back of the tub instead of the front, the tub is attached to the wall so was hoping it would be an easy job
Those taps are fairly hard to remove, so you'll need a big crescent spanner to remove them. I have had the same leaky tap on our supertub, but have found replacement tap washers unobtainable here in Blenheim. Please let me know if you can find any.Regards, Tom
Sure will do if we can source them, did u manage to remove from the front or do we have to remove tub from wall and get to taps from behind tub?
Remove from the front: after you've removed the plastic knob, on the body of the tap there are 2 flats to fit the crescent to. When unscrewed you have access to the washer assembly.
Cheers
PS to my previous msg; before unscrewing tap ,after turning off water supply turn on all taps on tubs to release water pressure. Also to make tap easier to turn, apply waterproof grease to all screw threads on tap.
Thanks for the info, will let you know if we can find washers to fit :)
