Noob question - how to remove this tap handle?

[SteveRobert5a]

This is undoubtedly a dumb question, but I can't get this tap handle off. I'd assumed the little insert disk would pop out but it doesn't want to. So what am I doing wrong?

You just have to persevere. It does come out.

Normally a screw or hex key underneath it which you have to loosen. Them pull the head off.

Thanks! I guess I need a tiny screwdriver and just try to lever the cap off.

Some tap heads just need a reasonable pull upwards - no screw. I have a set of Peglers that do just that.

Alum key will do the job matey.

Alum key? The problem is the inset is domed and jammed in. Trying to insert a thin jeweler's screwdriver down the edge is scraping off the chrome plating and damaging the tap. Is there some kind of technique to this? Just pulling the head doesn't do anything (as someone suggested - sorry, no idea what "Peglers" are.)

"Pegler" is a manufacturer of plumbing parts and taps - one of the major British manufacturers.

OK - you tried to pull the top off, probably wise not to overdo trying that! Do you know what make of tap you have (it might help)?

Thanks - sorry no idea what make the tap is - fitted by someone else and can't see a brand mark anywhere. (As for Peglers - yep, but what is a set of them?!) Am now going to apply WD40 to see if that can work its magic.
