Hello @Billy68 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about how to remove your tap handle.

I've posted a picture below of your tap handle. I've adjusted the brightness so that you'll see that inside is a locking nut that is holding the handle in place. In order to remove the nut, you could try using a set of long nose pliers to grab the side of the nut and twist it off. 

Otherwise, I suggest using a flat head screwdriver and try to twist one side of the nut to remove it. There is also a tool in the Kinetic Spout And Handle Repair Kit. It is a flat blade with two prongs at the end to slip into the slots of the nut. Please note to turn anti-clockwise to remove the nut. One other tool you can try is a Hex Socket Tool.

If after several attempts it is still stuck in place, I suggest engaging the services of a plumber to remove the handle for you.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Small flat head worked. A very small one. 

thanks
