has anybody dismantled their petrol taps?
how does the knurled edged front come off?
thanks bryan
 
i've rebuilt two of them.

one worked, one leaked (shredded the new rubber washer).

BTW they were 2 different makes of tap on one bike.

i'll be buying new ones from now on ;)
 
Multi use thread !

Served to remind me I never turned off the taps on my 80/7 hack, bloody garage now reeks of petrol, but 'NICE ONE' chaps !
 
been a while since i did one but....

if memory serves - you just twist it off....
BUT you need fingers with the strength of a vice grips and the dexterity of a Rabbi..or you'll "damage the head"..ahem.
eM
 
on the ones i did, the plastic bezel just prized off, then i think there were 2 holes underneath for a peg spanner??? can't remember.
