i am trying to change the washer in a 1970 bath tap that's dripping i cannot find any screw that holds the tap spindle on there is no screw in the side and nothing apparent under the blue plastic indicator any ideas please
 
Could it simply be shoved on? Even the old ones with the screw on the side are typically so tight you need to use the tap thread and a spanner (ideally a couple of blocks of hardwood but no one will pay you for the time to rig all that up) around the spindle to jack the head off.
