i would say you need to remove the outer collar / retaining nut first and then that will give you access to the cartridge nut

ok will do -i did try with a pair of adjustable grips but it didn't feel like it was shifting! Is there a special tool i can get to do it (other than one called a plumber!!)

you could get a box spanner but trying to find one big enough thats tricky
