Trouble removing decorative shroud from monobloc tap

[djmwr]

The rubber strap wrench worked an absolute treat. Removed all the bits no problem, cleaned them all up and now no drip

Thanks for the help as had never heard (or seen) one of those tools before!

Good stuff
Out of interest which strap wrench did you get? I've had one for a couple of years and it gets more damaged in my toolbag than when I'm using it, I think I got it at the merchants and it's unbranded, also have one of those things that help pensioners get jar lids off but it's pants. So might treat myself.

Waterpump pliers. Will mark the surface but this can be kept to a minimum with care.
