How do u get into a tap to change the washer?

You'll have to be a little more specific on the type of tap.


Most have a stem nut that has to be removed to access the stem %26amp; seat.How do u get into a tap to change the washer?
If it's the mains tap in your kitchen, first thing to do is turn off the mains water supply. There should be a stop tap somewhere beneath your kitchen sink. If you cannot find this, you may have a tap outside your property on the pavement/sidewalk. Turn the water supply right off.





From this point on I'm not one hundred percent sure.





You need an adjustible spanner. If you look below the tap you will find a couple of nuts. One at the top just below the tape and the other below the bulge thing at the bottom of the tap where it sits on the sink.





Once you've got these loosened up it should be just plains sailing.





Let's hope someone out there knows exactly what they're doing.

This varies depending on the type of tap you have. If you have SUPA TAPS, you can change the washer on these without turning the water off. But if you have the everyday type of taps, you can remove the tap top by either prising off the cap on top of the tap, or by removing a tiny screw on the side of the tap spindle. Make sure the water is turned off before you do this, and open the tap to let any residue water out. Once you have removed the top then you will see a large size nut which you have to undo. Steady the tap so it will not turn while undoing this nut, as it will need some pressure to turn it. You can then undo it, and lift it clear of the tap. If the washer is still of a reaonable thickness, then don't fit a new washer, but turn the washer over to a new flat side. before you replace the washer and tap body, make sure the surfaces inside the tap are clean and there is no grit or dirt left inside. Then replace in reverse order. Close the tap, then turn the water back on and test for any leakage. Good luck.
First turn off the water, then take off the handle. This varies with the design but there's usually a decorative cover with a screw underneath. You should now be able to undo the body of the tap with a spanner (if there's a little nut at the top, ignore it or the spindle will come out).
first un screw your tap then get a spanner undo bolt replace washer
