Can't get tap head off!

[stratplus]

Anyone know the secret to getting these heads off?? Took screw out, tried to pull head off and stuck solid on both hot and cold. Don't know the make of tap although there is a swan logo on the head.

Universal tap head replacement will fit, just yank it or break it. The tap head kits come complete with new covers etc.

Your almost there... They do seize on like that... Remove screw and prize off!!

Maybe some wd40 or apply some heat!

Change tap mate , not worth damaging the sink

Grip tap head with grips. Turn it anti aclockwise with some force and I believe that the guts should unthread with it.

Try boiling water then ice that might release it, other than that hacksaw right through it horizontally ten you can get grips on tap body

Thanks for replies all, tried a towel over head and grips but wouldn't budge at all. Never known them to be this stubborn just thought there might have been secret screw or other method of release somehow before breaking the head or tap replacement.
Will try heat next, tried wd40. I've got head replacements ready to go on.
