How to replace a tap washer?

[Ronb1949]

The old, old question - undoing a tap to replace the washer. I can't budge the body - is there a penetrant spray available? Any other ideas, other than a blowtorch?

Thanks

Hi @Ronb1949,

There are plenty of penetrative lubricants that you could try, and I'd recommend that you let them do their work for a few hours before attempting to undo the tap body again. You might also like to post a picture of the tap, so our helpful members can better understand what you're working with. Make sure to check out this helpful guide: How to replace a tap washer.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
