How to reseat a dripping tap - Plumbing Tips

[masterofsedition1]

At the moment im trying to change the washers on a mixer tap. Ive changed washers before, is just that this tap isnt like any other ive done before. I clipped the cap off and undid the screw underneath, but the tap head will not come off. There is nothing holding it there that I can see, and it doesnt screw off on its own or pull off. Does anyone know how I would get the tap heads off of this tap?

You forgot to take the air rater out of the tap spout to blast out the brass shavings.
