Handle Removal on Chateau Style Bathroom Taps

It appears as if an allen key is required. Is it the only one am missing or is it a metric size? Or is it a special key?

The handle removal is a metric allen wrench some of the cartridge replacements come with an allen head wrench

I always plug the drains and completely remove the allen head screw then the handle comes off
Sometimes you have to pry it gently or take a hammer wrap a towel around the handle where it meets tthe cartridge base and tap up under the handle lightly and it comes out

God Luck

What is the wrench size i need to tighten handle bars on a jeep FT 4,0 boys bike

There are nuts or allen bolts for both the stem and the bars. They are almost certainly a metric size, but hard to say what unless one has the same bike. My guess would be a 12mm hex, plus or minus, or a 6mm allen, again plus or minus. Get a metric hex/allen set and see what fits.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/donald_f2ed37026a3ac881

What size Allen wrench tightens handle on Moen Koran faucet model87599srs

Allen wrenches are sold in sets and not expensive. Moens are not metric so any set of small SAE allen wrenches will contain the right size for your Moen.

Hexagon wrench replacement

Allen wrenches, AKA hex keys, can be obtained singly or in sets in just about any hardware store or general merchandise store with tools. I prefer the sets that come in sort of a big jacknife folding set, like this: http://www.mickysharpzusa.com/images/parts/large/402.jpg as all the wrenches get lost together, instead of one at a time like this style tends to: http://i.ebayimg.com/t/30PC-Combo-Hex-Key-Allen-Wrench-Set-SAE-MM-LONG-SHORT-ARM-NEW-/00/s/NDg4WDY1MA==/$T2eC16ZHJGQE9noMbZN2BQ-lv1U+3g~~60_3.JPG I do not know if you'll need wrenches with metric measurements (mm) or English/Inch/SAE, which will be sized in fractions of an inch, like 3/32. Call Singer and ask the size you need: http://singerco.com I will guess metric, but I won't swear to it.

Faucet handle on Monticello model came off---how do I get it to tighten back on the hub. Received new adaptor kit, but how do I attach handle to the base?

If it's a shower valve there is a small hole on the underside of the handle. There should be an allen key that came with the kit. Use the key to tighten the screw.If there is no key then I think the size is either 1/16" or 1/8". The handle should point down when installed and in the closed position.You can turn the handle for easier access but if it's a Moen Posi-temp this will turn the water on. Stand to the side so you don't get wet. If it's Moen Moentrol you must pull it to turn the water on so if you turn the handle without pulling it you won't get wet. If the allen screw is missing then there should be one in the kit you have.
