How to remove an anti-theft tap?

[pauliew]

Hi

How do I use a anti theft bathroom tool to get the tap handle off to then change the washer? A picture of the tap and tool is provided. 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @pauliew. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about removing a tap handle.

Behind the tap handle where the spindle attaches to it, there will be two slots that should correspond with the tool. This nut needs to be undone to release the tap handle. You'll then be able to undo the conical flange and access the tap spindle for removal. Have a look at this discussion on How do I remove these tap handles, as it has pictures of the nut you are trying to access.

Please let me know how you go and if you have any questions.
