FAQ: How do I remove the tap handle? First you will need to remove the indices (hot and cold screw covering caps) these will pop out. We supply replacement indices should you break or damage these. The handle will then pull off.
How do I know if I need the bush or not? The bush will either remain in the tap body or come out fused to the cartridge. Until you remove the cartridge you won't know if you need the bush. The bush can remain in the tap body on one side and come out fused to the cartridge on the other side.
You can find the Athena tap diagram/instructions below.
How To remove the handle: First remove screw cover on the end of the handle. Use appropriate screwdriver to remove screw holding handle in place. The handle will then pull off.
